Under Indian law, a verbal divorce in front of parents is not legally recognized. Your first marriage is likely still valid, which may impact the validity of your second marriage. You should consult a lawyer to understand your rights and options in this situation.

I married recently, but my wife left after just two weeks. She struggles with household chores, isn’t mature enough, and lacks proper education. Her family also didn’t disclose some medical issues she has.

My husband and I got married in May 2012, and our baby boy is just a month old. I’m a government employee currently on maternity leave. Since the baby’s arrival, my mother-in-law has been making my life difficult. She constantly finds fault with me and manipulates my husband against me. He, unfortunately, blindly follows her, believing her lies and creating unnecessary fights. She even tells him, right in front of me, to divorce me and remarry! I’m feeling helpless, especially since I have a tiny baby to care for. Adding to my woes, my husband and his mother constantly ask for money, despite my contribution to the family income. My husband even demands my entire salary without any accountability. For the last two weeks, I’ve been staying with my parents for peace of mind. If they decide to file for divorce, what legal options do I have? I don’t want to initiate divorce, but their constant threats and pressure are terrifying. They’ve even said I’ll lose my son and get nothing in a divorce. I’m incredibly scared and mentally exhausted. How can I protect myself and my child in this situation?
