Under Indian law, your husband’s actions constitute cruelty and abandonment. You have grounds to file for divorce or seek maintenance from him. It is advisable to consult a lawyer to understand your legal options and seek protection from any further abuse.

My wife and I are considering a mutual consent divorce. We’ve agreed on a total settlement of 4 lakhs, with 2 lakhs paid at the first hearing and 2 lakhs at the second. Can we deposit the 2 lakhs with the court, to be released only after the second hearing is successful? I’m unsure if this is allowed, so I’d appreciate any advice.

As a Hindu, I got married 18 years ago. Due to irreconcilable differences, I moved out with my child to my brother’s home for a better future. My divorce case resulted in a court order to resume cohabitation (Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act). I couldn’t comply and now face the possibility of imprisonment and property seizure. What legal options do I have to defend myself, especially regarding the potential for imprisonment and property loss? Are there any Supreme Court rulings that support avoiding these consequences due to the circumstances of my case?

My brother got married in November 2015, a traditional Hindu wedding. We just found out his wife has schizophrenia, a condition her family never disclosed before the marriage. This feels like a complete betrayal, and we’re in a difficult position. Doctors advise against continuing the marriage due to the challenges of this illness. But we’re also afraid of a possible lawsuit, like charges under Section 498A or the Dowry Act, if we go for a divorce. We’re stuck and frustrated. What are our options? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Next Article My Lenovo phone, bought from Flipkart just three months ago, suddenly developed a touch screen issue last week. I took it to the Shakar Pur service centre, hoping for a quick fix under warranty. But they claimed the phone’s seal was broken, meaning it wasn’t eligible for warranty! I was baffled, as I’d never opened the phone or taken it for repairs elsewhere. I questioned them, saying why would I risk voiding the warranty when it was still active? The seal they mentioned was just a tiny paper sticker.
