My marriage in 2015 was arranged, but things haven’t been easy. My wife struggles to adjust to my family and sometimes her behavior can be hurtful. I’ve tried everything to make things work, but I feel we’re incompatible. I’m worried about the legal consequences if we separate, especially considering the potential for false accusations. I want to explore a mutual separation, but what if she files a complaint against me? What safeguards can I take to protect myself? She’s currently living with me.

Indian law does not recognize “mutual separation” as a legal status. If you wish to separate, you will need to file for divorce. While false accusations are a concern, maintaining evidence of your attempts to reconcile and her behavior can be helpful. Consulting a lawyer is strongly advised to understand your legal options and potential safeguards.
