My wife and I got married in January 2013 and she came to Canada in May 2014 on a spousal visa. She stayed for about 8 months and then went back to India in February 2015, saying her mother was ill. But she stopped contacting me after that. It’s been almost two years (March 2017) since she left. I’m now a Canadian citizen, but I want to get a divorce in India based on desertion so I can remarry. What should I do and how long will the process take?

Based on Indian law, you can file for divorce based on desertion. You need to establish that your wife left you without reasonable cause and without your consent, intending to abandon the marriage. The process can take several months to a few years, depending on the complexity of the case and the efficiency of the courts.

Previous Article My builder in Noida has asked for the final 60% payment for my flat bought under a 40:60 payment plan. However, they haven’t given me possession yet, and the Occupancy Certificate (OC) hasn’t been issued. They’re promising possession and the OC after I pay, but I’m worried because I chose the 40:60 plan to avoid this risk. They’re also threatening penalties if I don’t pay. What are my options? Should I send a legal notice or go to the consumer forum/Noida Authority? Will I have to pay penalties if I don’t pay the final amount? Can the builder demand the final payment without offering possession or the OC? I’m really concerned.
