Your sister can file a case under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, seeking maintenance and compensation for the dowry given. She can also file a divorce petition and seek alimony, but the amount will depend on the duration of the marriage, the financial status of the husband, and other factors.

My husband and I, both Bengalis, got married under the Special Marriage Act seven months ago. However, I was forced to leave after just a week due to unbearable mental abuse. I’ve been living with my family ever since. My husband lives abroad, and when I visited him six months ago, he wasn’t at his listed address. He refused to meet or talk to me, even when local police tried to reach him. I returned to India that day and haven’t heard from him or his family since. I want to file for divorce. When can I do so, and under what circumstances could the process be delayed or denied?

My husband left me after four months of marriage, demanding more dowry and harassing us with his family. I pleaded with him, but he refused to take me back.

He agreed but delayed, eventually filing for judicial separation and an injunction, alleging false accusations like wanting him to live with us and assaulting him and his mother. I have proof of their dowry demands and harassment. Can I file for a dowry case and divorce, and will I be entitled to alimony considering my distance MBA?
