My husband married me in December 2014 and left for the US for work just a month later. He never returned, even after a year. We finally found him when he came back on a work trip. I tried to end my life and was hospitalized. He promised to take me with him but left again for the US without any communication for the past 6 months. I’ve filed for divorce and domestic violence, but he’s not cooperating. Can I file a 498A case against him for cheating? I’ve also claimed ₹20 lakhs for marriage expenses and ₹35,000 monthly maintenance. Can I be awarded these?

Based on the information provided, you may be able to file a 498A case against your husband for cruelty and harassment, including his abandonment and emotional distress caused. The court may consider awarding you the claimed marriage expenses and monthly maintenance depending on the evidence presented and your husband’s financial capacity.

I’ve been married for 7 years to a woman who was previously divorced. We have a 4-year-old son. She’s a homemaker and depends on me financially. I recently moved to Delhi for work, while she and our son are back home. I’ve been feeling lost and unhappy in our marriage, especially sexually. I tried talking to my wife about it, but things haven’t changed. Now, I’ve decided to seek a divorce. I’m also seeing someone new and considering marriage.

My cousin, a Tamilian woman from Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, married a Tamilian man living in Sri Lanka 14 years ago. They’ve been living in Colombo, Sri Lanka, ever since.

We’re worried about her safety as her husband’s actions raise concerns for her well-being.

Any guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

My wife, a government teacher from Haryana, and I, from Himachal Pradesh, married in 2006. After three months, I quit my job to pursue an MSc (IT) degree, hoping to improve our future. This decision was made with her consent. However, despite my efforts, I couldn’t find a job in Chandigarh. I found work in Jaipur, but my wife refused to relocate. This led to constant pressure and accusations that I wasn’t doing enough, even though she knew my circumstances. Her family sided with her, and she refuses to listen to reason. Her behavior is erratic, and she frequently threatens to file false charges against me and my family. My aging mother, who is also a BP patient, is severely affected by this situation. We’ve tried talking to her family, but to no avail. How can we find a peaceful resolution to this difficult situation?
