My friend’s family arranged her marriage using a fake name that doesn’t match any official documents. They did this to match horoscopes without informing the groom’s family. Now they’re living together. Is this considered illegal, and can it be a reason for divorce?

Yes, using a fake name to arrange a marriage is illegal under Indian law as it involves deception and fraud. This can be grounds for divorce as it violates the foundation of a valid marriage, which requires free and informed consent based on true identity.

My husband left me 11 years ago, leaving me with our two children, a son now 18 and a daughter now 17. He filed for divorce, which I only found out about through a newspaper ad in 2008. I filed for maintenance that same year. I’ve been working on a temporary basis, earning less than 17,000 rupees per month, while he’s a government employee earning around 60,000 rupees or more. He’s taken out a house loan to try and lower his reported income. Our divorce case has been going on for 15 years now. With our 22 years of marriage coming to an end, I’m worried about the future. How much maintenance can I expect for myself and my children? If I get a divorce, what kind of property settlement can I receive? Is there anything more I can do to speed things up? My son will be turning 18 soon, and I’m concerned about providing for my children and myself. What amount should I ask for in alimony?

Can a woman who received a lump sum payment after a mutual divorce, where she agreed not to seek maintenance, still ask for maintenance under CrPC 125 in the future if she stays unmarried? Is it against public interest to require a written agreement from her stating she won’t seek maintenance?

My husband and I filed for a divorce by mutual consent under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. After the six-month cooling period, he didn’t show up in court, and he hasn’t withdrawn his consent. The court gave me another date. What can I do to get the divorce granted in his absence?

Ramesh, a young man from India, was excited to find Sujata’s profile at a marriage bureau. She was described as an IAS officer seeking a suitable partner. After verifying her credentials, Ramesh found that Sujata was indeed a newly appointed IAS officer and they soon got married in a court ceremony. A year later, a baby girl was born. However, Ramesh soon discovered that his wife’s claims were false. She wasn’t an IAS officer and had lied about her age. Devastated and feeling betrayed, Ramesh filed for divorce, citing fraud and deceit. The trial court, however, ruled against Ramesh, ordering him to pay a significant amount of alimony to Sujata and their daughter – exceeding half his salary. Ramesh, appealing to the Supreme Court, questioned the court’s decision: Should a woman who intentionally deceived a man into marriage be entitled to maintenance? Is it fair to allow a woman who deliberately entrapped a man to benefit from her actions?

My husband and I are facing difficulties in our marriage. I need to separate from his family and live independently. I would also like financial separation, where I receive a share of his monthly income. His family has 3 sons and 1 daughter, recently married. While all the sons are working, my husband is the only one who provides all his income for the family’s expenses, including food, rent, electricity, and water bills. He’s the middle son, and his younger brother is single. Unfortunately, he’s distant with his parents, often rude to me, and discourages me from interacting with them. Now that I’m pregnant, the arguments are more frequent. I’ve come back to my mother’s house and I need advice on what to do.

Next Article I’m looking to buy a 1700 sq ft plot (30×60). It’s part of a layout approved around 25 years ago. The seller bought it in 1989 from the original landowner, who gave the power of attorney to someone else. The seller got the ‘patta’ in 2010 and has the original sale deed and a copy of the power deed, but no original or copy of the mother deed. He’s owned the plot since 1989 and there’s no record of any transaction since then in the EC. Is this a safe purchase? Would I be able to get a home loan for this property?
