My friend was married against her will when she was just 17. She’s only 19 now and already has a baby girl. Can she get a divorce? She has no family to support her. If I move in with her and then she files for divorce, could her husband sue me?

Yes, your friend can file for divorce as she was underage when married. Indian law allows divorce under 18 for marriages deemed invalid. However, your moving in with her won’t impact her divorce proceedings, and her husband cannot sue you for cohabitation.

My husband filed a false case against me and my family under Section 420 of the IPC, claiming we cheated him. We are innocent and have proof. He even got his father to give a false statement against us. However, the case was dismissed because a crucial witness, a police officer, didn’t appear in court. I have evidence that I never cheated him, financially or emotionally. It seems he filed this case out of revenge after I filed for domestic violence. While I haven’t taken any action against his family, he’s targeting mine. Now that the 420 case is dismissed, what steps should I take? We are Hindus.

We got married in June 2006. Since then, my husband has not worked or earned a living. I was the sole breadwinner, even taking out a loan for his new business right after marriage. He constantly relied on me financially until I had to resign from my job during my first pregnancy. His parents then pressured me to move back to my parents’ home, citing various reasons. I’ve been living with them ever since, receiving no financial or emotional support from my husband. He and his family constantly harass me over the phone and force me to visit their home only to send me back to my parents’ days later. The abuse is unbearable and I can’t take it anymore. What should I do?

We’ve been married for 2.5 years, but we haven’t lived together, just met occasionally. I don’t want to live with her. She’s threatening to get me jailed by accusing me of dowry and domestic violence. I’m scared, I can’t live with her. Please help me.

What are my next steps?
