My husband and I got married in 2003 in our village, an arranged match. We never registered the marriage. Now, I’m wondering if I need to file for divorce to separate from him, or since we didn’t have a court marriage, is our marriage invalid? I’m Hindu and have a 12-year-old daughter. I live in Bangalore now.

Your marriage is considered valid under Hindu law as it was performed according to customs and traditions. You don’t need to prove its validity. To legally separate from your husband, you will need to file for divorce in a court in Bangalore.
