My marriage has been going on for 7 years. My wife had an affair before our marriage and it continues even now. She’s left our home and is living with her boyfriend as if they’re married. We have a 4-year-old daughter. I’ve asked for a divorce, but she refuses. She’s gotten legal advice from a few lawyers. One of them called me and threatened to file a maintenance case against me. When I argued, he threatened to file a dowry harassment case against me if I don’t comply. What legal steps can I take against my wife?

You can file for divorce on grounds of adultery and cruelty. The court can grant you divorce and custody of your daughter. You can also approach the court to stop the threats of false dowry harassment and maintenance cases.

My husband and I have been married for almost five years, and our son is three and a half. He asked me to leave his home when I was four months pregnant, and I’ve been living with my parents ever since. Over the past four years, we’ve tried to work things out, and last year we even bought a flat together. However, he’s gone back on his word and is now demanding I remove my name from the property deed. He wants to be the sole owner and sell it or do whatever he wants. He also wants a divorce. What are my rights to the house? Can he force me into a divorce? Can I ask for maintenance? What are my son’s legal rights?

My husband took my phone away and wants to bring another woman into our home, even though I don’t agree. We have four children together, and he owns the apartment. If I seek a separation or divorce, is he legally obligated to provide for our family? This includes food, housing, school fees, and clothing for our kids.

My husband and his family constantly pressured me for money, even though I was working and covering all our expenses. They spent a large sum on our wedding and demanded expensive gifts like a TV and motorcycle. He was even accused of a serious crime, which was settled through bribery and threats. They took a hefty amount and my mother’s jewellery under the guise of a compromise. He then secretly married another woman. I’ve filed cases against him for domestic violence, adultery, and maintenance, but he’s using his profession to manipulate the legal system and isn’t granting me a divorce. He’s also threatening me and my family, and even filed false charges against my brothers. The police and lawyers seem biased in his favour. How can I stand up for myself against all of this injustice?

My husband and I are facing some difficulties, and I need to know what legal steps I can take to ensure my children and I have a safe place to stay in his house.

My wife has filed a case against me in court. I’m thinking of applying for anticipatory bail. Will I need to sign a bond? If so, how much will it be? Also, how much will it cost to file for anticipatory bail and the bond?

Now, I need my certificates to apply for a passport. They initially asked for a blank cheque, then a signed blank document. After agreeing, they changed their mind and demanded ₹1 lakh! I offered to return the certificates after passport verification, but they’re refusing. The contract doesn’t mention anything about holding my certificates.
