Under Indian law, you have several options, including filing a police complaint for domestic violence, seeking a protection order from the court, and filing for divorce on grounds of cruelty. You can also approach women’s shelters and NGOs for support and legal assistance.

I’ve been married for 10 years now, with two lovely daughters. Recently, I found out that my husband had an affair with my cousin. He promises it won’t happen again, says he’s changed, and begs for a chance. But my heart just can’t believe it. I’m terrified to take action because of my daughters. I’m worried about how this would affect their lives. I can’t even talk to anyone about this because it would ruin my cousin’s reputation and her marriage too. I’m lost and don’t know what to do. Please help me find a way forward.

My husband and I have been married for five years, but he hasn’t been able to find a stable job. We have a one-year-old son, but there’s no financial security. He’s even taken all my savings. His parents own a lot of property, but they’re not helping at all. I’m a Hindu Thakur woman. How can I get a divorce?

My brother lives in Dubai and has been married for 8 years. Things haven’t been good between them, and he wants to get a divorce. He’s stuck in Dubai due to work and legal issues, but his marriage took place in India. How can he get divorced? If he gets a divorce without his wife being present, can she still ask for maintenance later on? Could he sign an agreement to settle everything at once? Would he have to come back to India for a divorce by mutual consent?

My husband divorced his first wife in 2008 and reached a one-time settlement. He has a son from that marriage, and his ex-wife has remarried. We legally married in 2012 and have a son together. What are the rights of his son from the first marriage regarding property? If the son states he doesn’t want anything from his father, can he still claim inheritance later?

I’m deeply worried. My love marriage, which felt like an arranged one, hasn’t worked out. My husband doesn’t understand me, and he has no business of his own. He had a past relationship before we married, and I was involved in that too. I learned about this just a month after we got married. Now, there are in-law problems, financial issues, and we’re constantly moving from hotel to hotel, wasting my family’s money. What should I do?
