Since your marriage wasn’t registered, it is not legally recognized under Indian law. Therefore, you cannot legally obtain a divorce. You need to first legally register your marriage, or consider filing for a declaration of nullity if there are grounds to prove the marriage was invalid from the beginning.

My divorce case is in the family court. Recently, during my witness’s testimony, the judge was very harsh with him.

My wedding in Jaipur in May 2014 was a joyous occasion, but soon after, difficulties arose with my in-laws. My husband initially stood by me, but later sided with his family. They constantly complained to my parents about my behavior. In December 2014, they asked my father to take me back for a few months, citing their small house and the impending birth of my sister-in-law’s child. When my husband left for work in Assam in February 2015, he told my father he had cut ties with his family and would bring me to Assam soon. He stayed in contact through regular phone calls. However, in May 2015, we received a letter accusing me of being foolish, mentally unfit, and lacking understanding. They threatened to end the marriage. My father tried desperately to reconcile things. In September 2015, another letter arrived, this time accusing me of being incapable of basic tasks like bathing and dressing myself. Given these circumstances, can I file a defamation case for the insults, a cheating case against my husband for breaking his promises, and a divorce? What evidence would I need to support these legal actions?

The wife initially participated in the proceedings for a year but then stopped attending hearings despite the judge’s warnings. The divorce was granted in her absence on April 24th, 2016. How long does the husband need to wait before he can remarry? Is there a specific timeframe for the wife to file a review petition? Can she appeal the divorce even though she didn’t attend the hearings?

He says he works for Amazon in Bangalore but I don’t know his salary or position. What should I do? I’m not working.
