My husband has filed a case for restoration of conjugal rights (RCR) against me in the Jamtara court. He’s said in court documents that he wants me to live at his work place, but in court, he says he wants me to live at our matrimonial home, where he only stays a few days. 1. How can we be considered to be “restoring” our marriage if we live separately? 2. Does RCR mean I have to live with his parents against my will, even without my husband being there?

Under Indian law, restoration of conjugal rights aims to bring spouses together to attempt reconciliation. Living separately undermines this purpose. Living with your husband’s parents against your will solely because they are at the matrimonial home would not be a reasonable condition for RCR, especially if your husband himself is not present there regularly.

Mera sasural mujhe ghar se nikalne ke liye court me case kar rahe hain. Maine unke ghar me 2 saal 6 mahine se rehti hu. Mera pati aur saas ab dusre ghar me rehte hain, lekin ghar unke naam hai. Mujhe dar hai ki kya court mujhe ghar se nikal dega, kyunki mere do bachche bhi mere saath hain?

I’ve been married for almost four years, and we have a two-year-old son. I have a job, and before my delivery, I gave my husband 80% of my salary in cash, which he demanded. I went to my parents’ place for the delivery. After our son was born, there was a fight between both families, and my husband verbally abused me over the phone, demanding I quit my job, come back home, and cut ties with my family, threatening violence if I didn’t. When I refused, his parents spread false rumors about me to our relatives. I emailed my husband detailing how much I had financially supported him, but he denied receiving any money and claimed he had spent a lot on me, even counting food expenses. I stopped responding after his lie. Now, his uncle wants me to collect my belongings as they are moving and has suggested a mutual consent divorce, which my father rejected. My gold jewelry is still with him, and his uncle promises to return it soon. I want to know what legal steps he can take against me and what precautions I should take to protect myself. I do not want a divorce.

We’re living apart, and it feels like things are heading towards a divorce. My husband works abroad, while I’m back in India with our 3-year-old son, staying with my parents. He hasn’t sent any money for a year, but I was working and didn’t ask. Now, I’ve lost my job. He doesn’t want me anymore, just our child, and he’s been incredibly verbally abusive throughout this whole ordeal. It’s clear he doesn’t like my parents either. I don’t want a divorce, but if he continues down this path, I’m left with no choice.

I’m 56 years old, and both my mind and body are tired. My 56-year-old husband seems to have lost all affection for me. He’s stopped contributing to household expenses and sold all his property, wasting it on frivolous things.
