Under Indian law, a court marriage is valid even if the couple doesn’t live together. Since the previous marriage ended, it no longer impacts your friend’s upcoming marriage. His marriage will be considered legal as long as the necessary procedures are followed and there are no legal impediments.

I filed a domestic violence case in the Delhi Family Court a year ago. Just before the ex parte hearing, my ex-husband appeared and the case was saved. The issue is, when I filed the case, I was staying with relatives in Delhi and had paid rent for six months. I felt safe with my family then. Now, I’m living with my brother in Ghaziabad. My ex-husband has challenged the court’s jurisdiction claiming it shouldn’t be in Delhi as I’m not living there anymore. The judge, in the last hearing, said they’ll decide on the case’s maintainability in the next hearing. Maintenance for my child will be fixed then if I apply. My question is, can my case be dismissed just because I’m not living in Delhi? Should it be transferred to another court? I’ve been struggling for two years, my entire income goes towards legal fees and rent. My ex-husband earns six times more than me, but he hasn’t offered any financial help since our child was born. Please guide me.

My husband and I have been living separately for almost a year now, things haven’t worked out between us. I’m still unsure about divorce but I need to get my belongings back – my car worth around 7 lakhs, gold jewellery weighing about 200 grams, and some silver items. My husband and his family refuse to return them, claiming I took everything when I left. This isn’t true. Could I file a dowry and harassment case to get my things back first, and then decide about divorce later? What would you suggest?
