My wedding was in April 2014, and within a year, my husband became violent. He even tried to hurt me seriously. I went to the police station in Mysore, but to protect my family, I filed a Non-Cognizable Report (NCR). He promised the officers he would change and asked me to stay with my parents in Bangalore for a week. But just two days later, he sent me divorce papers and filed a dowry harassment case. Even in family counselling, he refused to work on our marriage. He also has all my jewelry. I’m lost and don’t know what to do. I can’t afford a lawyer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You can approach the Karnataka State Legal Services Authority (KSLSA) for free legal aid. They can connect you with a lawyer who can assist with filing a domestic violence case against your husband, seeking protection orders, and retrieving your jewelry. You can also file a complaint with the National Commission for Women (NCW) to address the dowry harassment case.

My husband is being physically and emotionally abusive. What legal options do I have in India?

My ex-wife and I are both Indian citizens. I’ve lived in the UK since 2010, and she joined me here in 2013 after we married in India in 2012. I filed for divorce in a UK court in 2014, and we’re awaiting their decision. I’m wondering, can she go back to India and file for divorce there while our case is ongoing in the UK? If we get divorced here, can she then seek maintenance in an Indian court? Considering she has a master’s degree and is able-bodied, would she likely receive any maintenance from an Indian court?

My husband and I have been married for two years, and I’ve been living with my parents in Hyderabad. Unfortunately, things haven’t been good. I’ve been facing a lot of emotional and physical abuse, and I’ve had to leave him due to the violence. He recently sent me a divorce notice with false accusations. I used to work before marriage but have been unable to since. We also have a five-month-old baby. Could I use a lawyer in Bangalore to respond to the divorce notice, or should I use a lawyer in Hyderabad? Also, considering my husband earns more than 30 lakhs per year, can I request alimony?

My husband wants a divorce and says it should be “mutual.” But I don’t want a divorce! He won’t take me back and I’ve been living with my father for the past 3 years because of health issues and problems with my in-laws. Can I stop him from getting a divorce without my consent?

An Indian man, who lives in the US, married his wife in Karnal in 2006 according to Hindu customs. They registered their marriage in Karnal and moved to the US after the wedding. They returned to India for short visits, staying with the husband’s parents in Delhi, three times until 2008. In 2010, the husband was transferred to another country for work, but his wife refused to join him and stayed in the US. They’ve been living separately for almost six years. Now, the husband wants to file for divorce, citing desertion and cruelty. Should he file for divorce in Karnal (where they were married) or Delhi (where his parents live and they last resided together)? The wife might not contest the divorce proceedings.
