You can file for divorce in India on grounds of desertion, which is when your husband has abandoned you for a period of two years. You can also seek maintenance from him during the divorce proceedings, as he has a legal obligation to support you. Consulting a lawyer specializing in family law will guide you on the best course of action and necessary procedures.

My wife and I got married in 2004 under the Special Marriage Act, keeping it a secret from both our families. We lived separately until 2007, when we had a small ceremony and she moved in with my parents. Her family didn’t attend and basically disowned her. Later, in 2010, she got a government flat and we started living there. Now, in 2014, she filed a police complaint against me under sections 498A, 406, and 34, after I initiated divorce proceedings and moved out. Can section 406 be applied in a court marriage?

However, I have a few questions: Is a divorce without court proceedings possible, and if so, how is custody officially established? My child was born in India, but I am a foreign citizen. Does he automatically become an Indian citizen?

Ramesh, a young man from India, was excited to find Sujata’s profile at a marriage bureau. She was described as an IAS officer seeking a suitable partner. After verifying her credentials, Ramesh found that Sujata was indeed a newly appointed IAS officer and they soon got married in a court ceremony. A year later, a baby girl was born. However, Ramesh soon discovered that his wife’s claims were false. She wasn’t an IAS officer and had lied about her age. Devastated and feeling betrayed, Ramesh filed for divorce, citing fraud and deceit. The trial court, however, ruled against Ramesh, ordering him to pay a significant amount of alimony to Sujata and their daughter – exceeding half his salary. Ramesh, appealing to the Supreme Court, questioned the court’s decision: Should a woman who intentionally deceived a man into marriage be entitled to maintenance? Is it fair to allow a woman who deliberately entrapped a man to benefit from her actions?
