My husband and I have been separated for 10 years, though we’ve been married for 15. He occasionally speaks to our children, sends small gifts, but ignores me. He recently married a US citizen without divorcing me, claiming to be divorced on his marriage certificate. We obtained US citizenship in 2010. Can I prove this divorce is fake? Since I’m working, can I benefit from this situation? He wants our adult children to study in the US. What steps should I take, and how will they affect my children?

You can file a criminal complaint against your husband for bigamy and fraud. The validity of his US marriage is questionable due to the ongoing Indian marriage. Since you’re working, you can potentially seek maintenance and property division from him. This process may affect your children’s US education plans, potentially impacting their visa applications. You should consult a lawyer to determine the best course of action and assess the potential impact on your children.

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?

My arranged marriage, just six months old, has hit a rough patch. From the start, my wife hasn’t gotten along with me or my parents. She’s a teacher, and things have been escalating daily. We decided to move into a separate rented place, but when I suggested it, my wife became very resistant. She claims the house is hers and wants things done her way. She’s been very aggressive, even using dowry and domestic violence laws to taunt my parents. Her family won’t help mediate. I left the house and am living elsewhere, but my wife refuses to move out and is still staying with my parents. They went to the police, but they’re unsure of the legal options. My mother owns the house. How can we legally get her to move out?

My marriage in November 2013 ended sadly after a month when my wife left me for someone else. Despite family efforts to reconcile for half a year, I had to file for her return to our home in May 2014. The case dragged on for 18 months, with her only appearing twice in court. We eventually decided to separate amicably in December 2015, signing a handwritten agreement witnessed by our families and lawyers. I filed for divorce the same month, and after she ignored the summons, I received an ex-parte divorce in April 2016. Is there a possibility she might try to re-enter my life, and what steps can I take to protect myself?
