Under Indian law, you are entitled to seek maintenance from your husband during divorce proceedings, even if you do not want a divorce. This applies if you are living separately and caring for the children, while he is earning. A court can order him to pay you and the children maintenance.

I’m a Hindu woman from Maharashtra. In 2012, I married a man from the same caste in Madhya Pradesh.

We signed a separation agreement on stamp paper before going to the village council. Both of us moved on with our lives. He remarried and has a child. In 2016, I married another man from a similar background. He was also divorced and had a court-ordered decree. Our wedding was a traditional Hindu ceremony. However, I soon discovered he had serious health problems, including liver issues, low blood platelet count, severe vitamin deficiencies, and an inability to maintain a normal physical relationship. He also stopped working and relied on rental income. He admits he concealed these issues from me. We have been living separately since December 2016. What are my legal options to end this marriage?

Previous Article My land was acquired in 1987. The Collector awarded compensation under Section 11, but I protested and appealed to the Reference Court. They increased the compensation. The government challenged this in the High Court, but the court upheld the increase in 2012. However, the enhanced amount is still unpaid. Can I argue that since I objected to the initial payment under Section 11, it was never fully paid and my case should be considered lapsed under the new Land Acquisition Act of 2013?
