My husband left me two years ago, saying he wanted a divorce and would give me whatever I needed. I asked for a house, a fixed deposit that would provide me with at least 20,000 rupees a month, and my jewelry that was in his mother’s safe. He agreed, dropped me at my mother’s, and hasn’t contacted me since. Now, with no support, his family is taking advantage of the situation and ignoring my requests. I’m feeling helpless and need advice on how to protect my rights.

You should file for divorce and seek maintenance and property division under the Hindu Marriage Act or relevant personal law. You can also file a separate suit for restitution of conjugal rights and recover your jewelry. Consulting a lawyer is crucial to understand your specific rights and legal options.

My six-month waiting period after filing for mutual divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act is over. I missed the last two court dates due to unforeseen circumstances. I want to get married again soon to my fiancé, but I’m concerned about legal issues. What should I do to ensure a smooth transition and avoid complications?

My husband and his family abandoned me five years ago, demanding more dowry. I filed a case against him under sections 498A, 406, 506, and 323 of the Indian Penal Code. I’ve been living with my daughters at my parents’ home ever since. I found out that he remarried on November 13th, 2013, without getting a divorce. His new wife is living with him at his family’s house. I filed a complaint but haven’t been able to find proof of this second marriage. His wife recently gave birth to a baby boy, but I don’t know where or exactly when the child was born. This is against the law, isn’t it? What can I do to get justice and protect my rights?

We’ve been married for 7 years now, and our 4-year-old child is the light of our lives. Sadly, my husband and I have grown apart. Our values and lifestyle are very different, leading to frequent arguments, sometimes even physical ones. I’m considering divorce but worried about our child’s future. We live together in a house we own jointly and are also paying off a loan together. How will the house and the loan be divided if we separate?

My wife and I were married on December 17th, 1987, but she has lived separately with her parents since then. Now, after 27 years, she is seeking maintenance under Section 125 of the CrPC. We have barely spent ten days together after our marriage. Is she entitled to maintenance under these circumstances? She has filed the case in Yammiganur, Andhra Pradesh, while I reside and work for the Government in Raichur, Karnataka. Is the court’s jurisdiction in Yammiganur appropriate given that she does not live there, and I am in a different state?

I’ve been living separately for the past 5 years, and a maintenance case is ongoing. My husband has not offered any financial support whatsoever. I have no desire to remarry. He has submitted medical reports showing he has multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. I need advice: 1. If I get a divorce, will my children inherit his property? 2. What happens if he claims to be unemployed, especially since his younger sister and her children live with him? 3. My parents are supporting me. Can he refuse to contribute to the children’s maintenance? 4. Can I ask for one of his two shops as alimony for my children?
