You have legal rights as a wife under the Hindu Marriage Act, including the right to reside in your matrimonial home. You should pursue a legal remedy against your husband and his mother for domestic violence and seek a court order for protection and access to the home. Additionally, you should consult a lawyer to protect your marital rights and address the divorce proceedings.

My wife and I had a love marriage after dating for two years. Before marriage, she was happy to be part of my family. But after marriage, her behaviour changed, and she’s now pushing me to leave my parents. Her family is also pressuring me. I’m worried about what to do. We married in April 2016. While I know I can’t file for divorce before April 2017, I want to understand the legal options available to me. Can you guide me?

We were married in 2007 and enjoyed a happy life for 5 years, but sadly couldn’t have a child. My husband’s family blamed me, even though medical tests showed he was the one struggling. They pressured me to allow a second marriage, but I refused. They then sent me back to my parents’ home and in 2012, filed a case to nullify our marriage, which is still ongoing. Unbeknownst to me, he married again in February 2015. After discovering this, I filed a bigamy case against him, but due to a judge shortage, it’s still pending.

My wife and I are both Hindus, she’s from West Bengal and I’m from Bangladesh. We’ve been married for 8 years and are struggling to have a child. We’ve tried different treatments and hospitals, but nothing has worked. She’s 38 and facing infertility issues, and her sister may have even gotten divorced for the same reason. This is causing constant tension and fights between us, and I’m feeling very frustrated. She sometimes agrees to a mutual divorce, but other times asks for compensation. I need legal advice on whether I can get a divorce based on this situation, what the costs might be, and the best way to proceed.
