My marriage is three months old, but we haven’t been able to consummate it because my husband refuses to be intimate. He’s physically and mentally healthy, yet he’s talking about divorce. I don’t want to end our marriage. Can he file for divorce after a year, even though we’re living together? If he does, what should my legal strategy be?

Under Indian law, your husband can file for divorce on the grounds of “non-consummation” after a year of marriage. Your legal strategy should focus on proving that his refusal is unjustified and stems from his unwillingness, not your inability. You can seek counseling and present medical evidence to support your case.

We’ve been married for a decade now, with two lovely children. My wife has always been suspicious of my interactions with women, leading to constant misunderstandings. This has caused a lot of strain in our relationship. Recently, I’ve found solace in an old friend who’s been struggling with her health. Being with her brings me peace and happiness, and I’ve been helping her with her medical expenses and other needs. I’ve always been a dedicated father and have taken full responsibility for our children. If my wife wishes to separate, I won’t object to providing her with financial support. However, can she legally force me to live with her against my will? Could she file a police complaint accusing me of cheating?

I’m deeply troubled by my wife’s past relationships and her ongoing behavior. It hurts that my parents, who should be my support system, are siding with her instead. I’m feeling incredibly frustrated and overwhelmed. I’m at my wit’s end and considering divorce. What can I do in this situation?

My husband and I got married in 2003 in our village, an arranged match. We never registered the marriage. Now, I’m wondering if I need to file for divorce to separate from him, or since we didn’t have a court marriage, is our marriage invalid? I’m Hindu and have a 12-year-old daughter. I live in Bangalore now.

My 12-year marriage has been a nightmare. My husband’s alcoholism has made life unbearable for my 10-year-old daughter and me. In 2012, I filed complaints with the police and the CAW cell, but eventually agreed to reconcile. Sadly, nothing changed. Now, they are trying to force me and my daughter out of our home. I don’t want a divorce, but I need to stay safe. Can someone please help me find a way to stay in our home without facing further abuse?

Good morning sir, my wife has filed for divorce. Can she go to my house or office to protest with the media while the case is ongoing in family court? Can I get a restraining order from the High Court to stop her from causing a disturbance? If I report her to the police, what action will they take? How can I prevent her from coming to my house and office and causing a commotion until the divorce case is resolved? Please advise.

Previous Article Respected Lawyer, I enrolled in a distance MBA program in 2013 at a Bangalore college partnered with BharathiDasan University in Tiruchirappalli. The course fee was Rs. 2.5 lakhs, and I paid Rs. 1.25 lakhs in November 2013. Due to work commitments, I couldn’t attend classes for a while and decided to discontinue the program in January 2017. When I went to the college to withdraw, they initially demanded the full fee for releasing my original certificates. After repeated requests, they agreed to release them but asked for a Rs. 100 notary stating I wouldn’t seek a refund. Could you please advise me on how to proceed in this situation?
