You should immediately report the threats of physical harm to the police and obtain a restraining order. Consult a lawyer to seek legal counsel regarding your husband’s divorce petition and the ongoing harassment. It is crucial to document all incidents of abuse and threats for potential legal action.

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?

We got married in January 2016. My husband is an only child, and his parents have always expected him to be close to them. Initially, I hoped that he would always support me. But now, I realize that he blindly sides with his parents, even when they are wrong. My father-in-law often talks down to me and gives orders. My mother-in-law constantly wants my husband by her side, even questioning him whenever we go out. It’s not physical abuse, but it’s mentally draining. I don’t want to hurt my husband, he’s a good man, just deeply attached to his family and easily influenced. I love him deeply and don’t want to leave him. Can someone offer advice on how to manage this situation?

My husband claims I’ve lost my right to our house due to our marital problems. I’ve been paying the EMIs for it. Can I get back the money I paid?

A couple in India filed for divorce in 2000. The judge referred the case to Lok Adalat for a compromise, promising to proceed with the petition if it failed. The parties reached an agreement: the husband would pay the wife ₹2,00,000 in exchange for her consent to the divorce. The agreement also stated that after the divorce, he would have no further financial responsibility. The wife received the payment, and the court granted the divorce based on the agreement. The question is: can the divorced wife now seek maintenance payments from her ex-husband?

We got married six years ago against our families’ wishes. Since then, I’ve been dealing with his drinking problem and occasional violence. Six months ago, he got drunk and tried to hit me again, so I called the police. They warned him, but I didn’t file a report. Then, a month later, he got drunk and crashed the car I bought. Two months ago, we had a fight and he left without telling me where he was going. He came back after two months, but the next day, he found some pictures of me on my laptop and got angry, demanding a divorce. He hasn’t contributed much financially. I bought the house, he only paid for the brokerage and furniture. Now, he claims he wants a share of the house. He doesn’t give me any money, and most of his income goes towards drinking. I want to know if I can file for divorce and if he can use those pictures to fight it. I don’t want to stay with him anymore.
