My husband forced me out of our home. My lawyer asked him about a mutual divorce, and since he was so cruel, I didn’t want anything from him. He agreed (maybe because I didn’t ask for alimony). Now that the divorce is final, can I seek compensation? These men should be held accountable.

While your ex-husband’s cruelty is unfortunate, Indian law does not allow you to seek compensation after a divorce is finalized. You could have raised this issue during the divorce proceedings to seek alimony or compensation for the harm caused.

I’ve been separated from my husband for almost a year now, and this is the fourth time we’ve been apart. Sadly, things haven’t improved despite trying to work through our differences with his family. I’ve come to realize that we’re not meant to be together, and I’m ready to move on. I’d like to file for divorce. Could you please advise me on what steps to take?

I got married in September 2009 and have a five-month-old baby boy. Sadly, I’ve been facing immense mental pressure from my husband and mother-in-law. After my baby’s birth, I went to my mother’s home for a few weeks, and since then, they’ve been constantly picking fights with me. It’s gotten so bad that I’m thinking about divorce, but I’m worried about losing custody of my child. I need to keep my baby. How can I fight back? What legal steps should I take?

My husband is causing me a lot of distress. What can I do to protect myself and find a solution?

My wife wants a divorce because she discovered old messages from my girlfriend. We were close before marriage, and I tried to end it after our wedding. I told my girlfriend that I’d only be friends from then on, but she gets very upset if I’m not attentive. It took a long time to distance myself completely. I never told her about my marriage because I wanted to handle this discreetly. Unfortunately, the police helped her get our old messages, which include some inappropriate language. I never physically cheated on my wife, but she’s convinced otherwise. We live in Gujarat, and my girlfriend is in Kerala, so we only had an emotional connection over the phone. She’s also married with a child. If my wife files a case against me, my girlfriend’s family will be dragged into it, potentially ruining her marriage and her son’s life. I wanted to solve this myself, but my intentions have been misinterpreted. I truly love my wife and can’t imagine life without her. However, her parents are pushing for divorce, claiming this as the reason. They want a mutual consent divorce, which I don’t want. If I refuse, they’ll file a case. What are the possible outcomes of this case? Can I prove my innocence?

My girlfriend and I, both 20 years old, are in a serious relationship. She’s a Brahmin, and I’m a Hindu, but our families aren’t comfortable with us living together before marriage. Is there any way we can navigate this situation?
