Your sister should consult with a lawyer specializing in family law in India. They can advise her on the specific grounds for divorce in her state, the process for filing, and her rights to alimony and child support.

Imagine a man in India, married but unhappy, who decides to leave his wife and start a new life with his girlfriend. What legal troubles could he face? And what steps can he take to avoid or navigate these challenges?

My wife left our home a year and a half ago and, despite our requests, she refuses to return. She’s demanding 10 lakhs in alimony. We were married for four years, but she often misbehaved with family members, leading to occasional disagreements. However, these were infrequent and never escalated to physical harm. We sent her an advocate notice to come back, but she responded with false allegations last month. My annual income is 11 lakhs, with a net monthly salary of 70K. I’m 30 years old. My wife, 26, has no income but is capable of working. We have no children. I’m worried about the alimony calculation. Is it fair that she demands alimony despite initiating the divorce without any major reason? She cannot prove dowry, extramarital affairs, or physical abuse. We treated her well and with respect. Since only notices have been exchanged and no case filed yet, will the court consider the lack of a justifiable reason for divorce and potentially refuse her alimony? Can I present a lower salary to reduce the alimony amount, considering I have borrowed money that I’m repaying?

What happens if a husband can’t afford the monthly maintenance ordered by the court during a divorce case, even though his wife needs it?

Married for over two years, I realized my husband wasn’t serious about our future. He wouldn’t take responsibility. This led to problems, and my family got involved. My mother became ill, and my father grew weary. When I pointed out the need for financial stability, my parents supported my decision. My in-laws made promises, and my husband followed suit. We believed them. Now I’m living a life I never imagined, feeling helpless and exhausted.

After 28 years of marriage, the constant strain of my husband’s addiction to alcohol has become unbearable. We’ve both agreed that a mutual consent divorce is the best path forward. He’s reached a point where he doesn’t want to change for anyone, and I’ve exhausted all my options. Our daughter is now independent, and I’m ready to move on.
