My wife and I are planning a mutual divorce. We’ve agreed to it without any alimony. Will the court still insist on alimony? Can I file for divorce alone, without my wife being there, and have the papers served to her?

Under Indian law, a court can order alimony even if you and your wife agree not to. You can file for divorce alone, but the court will require your wife to be served with the papers and given a chance to respond.

Previous Article My family has been farming our 40-acre land in Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh for the past 15 years. This year, the forest ranger is stopping us from cultivating, claiming it’s forest land. The problem is, around 250 acres in this area are disputed between farmers and the forest department. Our village records show a joint agreement for farmers to use this land. However, the forest department uses an older map and insists our farmland is entirely forest land, making farming impossible. What legal options do we have to get a stay order or use land authority to keep farming until the dispute is settled? How long would it take to get a stay so we can plant crops this season?
Next Article I bought an Intex Aqua Fish phone from eBay on August 20th. It arrived without an invoice, and unfortunately, it was faulty. I reported the issue on August 23rd, requesting a replacement and invoice. The invoice arrived on the 24th, but no replacement was offered. I took the phone to the service center, but even after two attempts and a PCB change, the defect wasn’t fixed. They refused to replace it, claiming it was a “default” issue. My written complaint went unanswered, and the service center manager was rude, refusing to acknowledge the phone’s problem. He even blamed me, saying I threatened to file an FIR and made unreasonable demands.
