Reading: My name is Manohar Raju. I got married a year ago. Two months after our marriage, my wife confessed to an affair she had five to six years before we met. She said her parents were aware of this relationship and even agreed to it, though it ultimately didn’t happen. She also admitted to a physical relationship with this man. After conceiving our child, she returned to her parents’ house and gave birth to a baby girl. It’s been eight months, and I haven’t seen her since. I’ve been deeply disturbed by her infidelity, even before our marriage. Now, when I’m seeking a divorce, she’s denying everything. Her parents are also threatening legal action against me and my mother, alleging dowry harassment and domestic violence. I’m at a loss. What should I do?

Based on your description, you have grounds for divorce due to your wife’s pre-marital infidelity, which is considered a valid reason under Indian law. However, given the counter-allegations of dowry harassment and domestic violence, seeking legal counsel is crucial to navigate the situation and protect yourself from false accusations.
