My wife and I are considering separation. She’s asking for a lump sum of 15 lakhs in cash and 10 lakhs in a fixed deposit in our daughter’s name. Her lawyer also wants 12 lakhs before we even file for divorce. Is this reasonable, or are they trying to take advantage of me?

Indian law allows for alimony and child support, but the specific amount is determined based on individual circumstances like income, assets, and the child’s needs. It is advisable to consult with a lawyer to understand your legal obligations and whether the demands are reasonable or excessive.

As a woman in my mid-40s, I married at 22. For years, I’ve been burdened with heavy work and emotional abuse, pushing me beyond my limits. This has led to depression and anxiety, making it difficult for me to function. Now, my father-in-law is demanding I leave the house. My self-worth is shattered, and my parents have also faced insults and exclusion. I’ve dedicated my prime years to this family. Do I have any right to stay, to reclaim my dignity? My husband remains silent, a passive observer.

At 26, I married and moved to Goa with my husband and in-laws. For the past three years, they’ve subjected me to relentless mental and physical abuse, demanding dowry. I worked tirelessly, handing over my entire salary to my husband who never contributed to my expenses. I reported the abuse to the Goa Women’s Cell and now filed a police report in Bangalore. I’m feeling lost and unsure about the next steps. Could you please advise me on how to proceed?

I got married in September 2008. Sadly, we lost two babies soon after their birth – a boy in April 2010 and a girl in June 2013. My wife left home in July 2013, saying she wouldn’t return and I should remarry. Her father promised to talk to her and get back to me, but there’s been no response. We’ve tried reaching out, but she’s refusing to come back. In June 2015, she filed a complaint with the women’s cell in Dehradun. I travelled from Jaipur to Dehradun five times to resolve the issue, but it didn’t work out. Now she’s filed a case in court. I’m worried she might try to hurt my parents with false accusations. What should I do?

I’m 36 years old, an MBBS doctor who finished medical school 9 years ago but haven’t pursued any specialization yet. I’m going through a divorce from my wife, a successful dermatologist. She’s demanding ₹4 lakhs monthly as alimony, which I can’t manage. The case has been in court for 3 years now, and she’s also filed a dowry harassment case against me. My lawyer suggested filing a case of abuse against her, but I’m feeling stuck. I really want this to end soon. Is there any way to get a divorce despite her asking for such a high alimony? My lawyer seems pessimistic, but I’m hoping for some solutions. We’re a Hindu couple, if that helps.

We’ve been married since February 2014 and have a sweet little one who’s now nine months old. My wife keeps accusing me of having affairs, which is completely untrue. She doesn’t treat me or my mother with any respect, often using hurtful words. I’m at my wit’s end and feel divorce is the only way out. However, I don’t want to remarry, I just want to focus on raising our son. My only regret is that I used to drink a lot, which I’m ready to stop completely. But given her attitude, I’m not sure if we can salvage our relationship. We never formally registered our marriage, and her documents still have her father’s name. How can I go about getting a divorce while ensuring my son’s well-being?

Previous Article I was unfairly dismissed by REC in 1992 based on an incomplete investigation. They didn’t reveal that my travel allowance claim was never even processed, a fact they only admitted in 2014. This claim was the main reason for my dismissal, forming the basis of three out of six charges, which also included some old, baseless accusations. Since 2014, I’ve been trying to reopen the case but haven’t been successful. Can I approach the courts again, given this new information? Previously, I fought the case in court but lost, unaware of the non-processing of my travel allowance claim.
