My husband works at a private chit fund company, earning around ₹18,000 per month. However, he misled me about his income during our marriage, promising ₹40,000. With our current expenses, including car loan payments and rent, it’s impossible to make ends meet on his actual salary. We don’t have any assets as they’ve been lost. I have a two-month-old baby and I’m desperate for help. Can I approach the court to ensure a peaceful living arrangement with my husband? Could I potentially seek monthly financial support from him through the courts?

Yes, you can approach the court for maintenance and a peaceful living arrangement under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. You can seek monthly financial support from your husband based on his actual income, your needs, and the child’s needs.

My friend was forced into marriage by the girl’s family without his parents’ knowing. How can we help him get out of this difficult situation?

My husband and I signed a compromise agreement after I filed a case against him, promising to live together. The agreement didn’t mention anything about property. We jointly filed a petition in the High Court, which asked us to record our statements with the local magistrate. That same day, I had a property I live in transferred to my name because I was worried he might leave me again. We recorded our statements and the case was sent back to the High Court. But he left me and didn’t take our four-year-old son with him. What should I do now?

My father, a heavy drinker, has been abusive for 15 years. My mother endured it for a long time, but eventually, she left with us, moving to another state. After a year, he pleaded for a second chance, and she gave him another try. But soon, he returned to his old ways, becoming even more aggressive. We had to flee again, but he tracked us down, causing more pain. We finally had to involve the police and my mother filed for separation, getting a court order to protect us. Now, he’s unwell, and his family is pressuring us to return or give up our claim on his property. What should we do?

My fiancée and I are planning a Hindu wedding, but the marriage certificate process takes a month. Her family might file a police report, and I’m worried about the potential for trouble. What can we do to avoid police inquiries and keep our families safe? We’re both willing to get married, but I’m afraid the police might side with her family. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My wife left our home a year and a half ago and, despite our requests, she refuses to return. She’s demanding 10 lakhs in alimony. We were married for four years, but she often misbehaved with family members, leading to occasional disagreements. However, these were infrequent and never escalated to physical harm. We sent her an advocate notice to come back, but she responded with false allegations last month. My annual income is 11 lakhs, with a net monthly salary of 70K. I’m 30 years old. My wife, 26, has no income but is capable of working. We have no children. I’m worried about the alimony calculation. Is it fair that she demands alimony despite initiating the divorce without any major reason? She cannot prove dowry, extramarital affairs, or physical abuse. We treated her well and with respect. Since only notices have been exchanged and no case filed yet, will the court consider the lack of a justifiable reason for divorce and potentially refuse her alimony? Can I present a lower salary to reduce the alimony amount, considering I have borrowed money that I’m repaying?

Previous Article My wife, a Master’s degree holder in Commerce, worked for a while before our marriage, earning a modest salary. She comes from a lower-income background, though this wasn’t a factor when we wed. I own a 2-bedroom home purchased before marriage, with most of the loan repaid. It took me a decade of saving to achieve this. We’ve been married for 18 months, and I’m considering divorce – either mutual or contested. My priority is peace of mind, not money. Will I be forced to share half my income and my home? I’ve heard alimony doesn’t consider the marriage duration.
Next Article My husband and I got married a year ago under the Special Marriage Act. He’s Hindu, I’m Muslim. He lied about having another wife and two kids, who live with his parents.

I need guidance on what my legal options are.
