In India, you can file for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act or Special Marriage Act. However, a minimum period of one year of marriage is required before filing for divorce. As your marriage is only a couple of months old, you cannot file for divorce currently.

My wife left home a year ago and filed two cases against me in court, one for domestic violence and another for maintenance, this May. She’s a retired government employee with a good pension. I’ve tried everything to bring her back, but it’s been unsuccessful. I’m lonely and feel lost. Is it possible for me to remarry for companionship and support?

My wife and I were close to separating, but thankfully, things were resolved amicably. However, knowing her temper and tendency to be self-centered, I fear things could escalate again. We’ve covered all the marriage expenses without any financial contribution from her family. Yet, she remains dissatisfied. She’s simply not driven and doesn’t seem to care much. Before things get complicated, I want to clear everything legally. I’m planning to discuss with her family what we’ve given them and vice versa, putting it down in writing. I want to avoid any future problems for both our families, especially since we’ve invested a significant amount in this marriage. There’s a chance they might try to downplay our contributions. Is a pre-nuptial agreement the right approach to ensure everything is transparent and protected?

My friend is in a difficult situation. He’s a 22-year-old young man, newly married and a father to a 3-month-old baby. His wife wants to live near her family, but his own family is threatening him and his loved ones if he doesn’t comply. They’re even making threats of violence and claiming they have connections that will protect them from the law. He’s worried and can’t afford a lawyer. What should he do?

My arranged marriage, after a year and a half of courtship, turned sour quickly. My husband became distant within months and filed for separation on flimsy grounds, even kicking me out of our home. He doesn’t show up in court and refuses to reconcile. I desperately want to save our marriage – how can I move forward?
