My husband’s older brother married another woman while already being married. Despite knowing he was married, the second wife had a relationship with him. When his first wife threatened legal action, police intervened and the second wife went back to her parents. My husband claimed it was a mistake and apologized. But he was caught again with the same woman in bed, seen by his parents, mine, and neighbors. He claims they’re not married but wants to be with her. What can I do?

Your husband’s actions constitute bigamy, a serious criminal offense in India. You can file a police complaint against him and seek legal separation or divorce based on his adultery and bigamy. You can also seek maintenance and custody of any children you may have.

I’ve been married for almost 4 years, but separated from my husband for almost a year due to problems caused by his father. He wants me to come back, but I’m afraid to because of his father’s past actions. He refuses to acknowledge his father’s interference. I told him I might consider returning if we remain separated because his father’s constant harassment even led me to attempt suicide. He also has a written agreement from my parents stating they’ll be responsible for any harm that befalls me, excluding him and his family. How can I navigate this situation legally?

My husband filed for divorce in his hometown without telling me, using false reasons and getting it granted without returning gifts or providing any maintenance.

For the past six years, I’ve endured domestic violence. My little one is now four, and I’ve decided to separate. My husband wants a “mutual” divorce, but I’m worried about my child’s future.

I also don’t want him to see our child. Can I keep custody of my child forever? We are Hindus.

Previous Article A month ago, I got a message from Indeed about a job interview at GMR. The message told me to contact a number. I called the number, and the person said they would arrange a phone interview because the actual interview was in Delhi. Being a fresher, I was excited and had the interview a few days later. Thankfully, I got selected and received the joining letter. However, they then asked me to pay 20,000 rupees as a joining fee. I know it was silly of me to do it, but I paid. Now, all their numbers are switched off. I went to the police station to file an FIR, but they took the complaint without actually registering it. When I pressed them, they said an FIR couldn’t be filed.
