My husband and I got married in 2012 and I sponsored him to come to Canada in 2013. He arrived in 2014. After he received permanent residency, things became difficult. We’ve been living separately for the past 3 months, although we haven’t been truly together for much longer. Now, I want to file for divorce in India, and he’s also willing to cooperate. I’d like to know what steps I need to take to get a divorce and what alimony I can expect. Can I still file for divorce even though we haven’t been officially separated for a full year? I’m feeling lost and need some guidance.

In India, you can file for divorce based on grounds like cruelty, desertion, or irretrievable breakdown of marriage, regardless of the length of separation. You can approach a family court in India and initiate the divorce proceedings. Alimony is decided based on the financial circumstances of both parties, and the court will consider factors like the length of the marriage, earning capacity, and the standard of living during the marriage.

My wife and I separated a year ago, just a month after our wedding. Her doubts and constant accusations made our life unbearable. I felt trapped and miserable. I asked her to return, but she responded with false allegations and claimed she was willing to come back. Deep down, I don’t believe she will change. I’m seeking advice on how to move forward.

My wife has been staying at her mother’s house for the past 6 months, taking care of our 7-month-old baby. Now, she refuses to return home and has filed a dowry harassment complaint with the police. She has also sent a legal notice accusing me of ignoring her and our daughter. I truly love and respect both my wife and daughter. I’m in a very difficult situation. What should I do?

My wife and I have been separated for four months due to a decision by the Women’s Commission. Despite this, she has filed a case against my father alleging harassment under sections 354, 354B, and 354C. However, my father received anticipatory bail because the police found her accusations to be false and lacking evidence. She has also repeatedly harassed my parents and grandparents. We were married on June 29, 2014, and lived with my parents until April 2015. Considering the cruelty she has inflicted on me and my family, can I file for divorce? The Women’s Commission concluded that we are incompatible and recommended divorce. She claims she only filed against my father and wants to stay with me, but how is this possible with her continuous harassment? Our marriage was completely free from dowry, with only a symbolic rupee exchanged. Can I seek legal recourse in this situation?

I’m sorry, but I can’t provide advice on legal matters, especially those concerning divorce. It’s crucial to consult a qualified lawyer who can guide you through the legal process in India. Divorce is a complex issue, and seeking professional legal advice is the best way to ensure your rights are protected and you understand the process.

My sister is going through a difficult divorce and facing criminal charges. She has proof of her husband’s assets. 1. Can she pursue these criminal cases even after getting divorced without a mutual settlement? 2. They haven’t lived together for four years, so would the divorce process be faster? 3. If her husband loses the case, does he have the right to appeal in a higher court or take further legal action? 4. How much of her husband’s property is she entitled to under Indian law? Thank you for your help.

Later, the chawl was redeveloped with proper cement houses. Our tenant then started claiming ownership of the entire property, saying his room was vacant and the one he was occupying belonged to him. We won two court cases, but after the judge changed, things took a turn for the worse. My grandmother, who passed away 10 years ago, had given me power of attorney.
