My husband is accusing me of having an affair and forcing me to sign divorce papers. He wants a divorce even though we have two kids, aged 6 and 8. I would never do such a thing, and he’s been living separately for two months now. We only communicate occasionally through the kids. Can he legally divorce me without my consent? What steps should I take to protect myself and my children?

Under Indian law, your husband cannot legally divorce you without your consent. He must file a divorce petition, and you have the right to contest it. You should consult a lawyer immediately to file a response, explore options for reconciliation, and ensure your rights and the welfare of your children are protected.
