My wife and I had a love marriage after dating for two years. Before marriage, she was happy to be part of my family. But after marriage, her behaviour changed, and she’s now pushing me to leave my parents. Her family is also pressuring me. I’m worried about what to do. We married in April 2016. While I know I can’t file for divorce before April 2017, I want to understand the legal options available to me. Can you guide me?

In India, a divorce can be filed after one year of marriage. While you can’t file for divorce before April 2017, you can explore options like counseling and mediation to resolve the issues with your wife and her family. You can also consult with a lawyer to understand your legal rights and options.

My husband and I have been living separately for almost a year now, things haven’t worked out between us. I’m still unsure about divorce but I need to get my belongings back – my car worth around 7 lakhs, gold jewellery weighing about 200 grams, and some silver items. My husband and his family refuse to return them, claiming I took everything when I left. This isn’t true. Could I file a dowry and harassment case to get my things back first, and then decide about divorce later? What would you suggest?

My husband was forced into marrying me by his family. Two months later, he confessed the truth: he agreed to the marriage because he needed money from my parents. This was followed by six months of emotional abuse. If my husband is only with me for financial reasons, I want a divorce. I also want my dowry back, which my parents gave to his family. What are my legal options?

My wife and I are from Jaipur, and we’ve been married for almost a year. I’ve been living separately for the past six months because she threatened to leave me. Whenever we disagree, she threatens to file a case against me. Once, she even tried to get our neighbors involved. Her sister works in the police, and she often threatens to falsely implicate me in a case. I moved out to avoid troubling my family, but she still isn’t behaving well. Now, I want a divorce. What should I do? If she names my family in a case, will the police also harass them, even though I’ve been living separately for six months? Her constant threats and arguments are affecting my work, and I can’t focus. She even threatens to put something in my food. Her brother also threatens me.

My wife left me six months ago, while she was two months pregnant. We’ve tried talking things out, but she’s not coming back. Now, her lawyer has sent me a legal notice demanding maintenance and divorce. She’s also filed a divorce petition. I’m a B.Com graduate with a monthly salary of Rs. 40,000, but I have an Rs. 17,000 housing loan EMI and an Rs. 8,000 personal loan EMI. Can I refuse to pay maintenance since she’s also a B.Com graduate with work experience? Is she even eligible for maintenance? If so, how much could I be asked to pay?

My husband and his family kept me completely in the dark about his habits before our wedding this year. He claimed to only drink at office parties, but after marriage, he drinks daily, smokes, and chews tobacco. He also struggles with mental health issues, especially when it comes to intimacy, pressuring me to behave like a call girl during our encounters. He constantly blames me for his job failures and physical weaknesses, adding to my emotional distress. Now, I’m five months pregnant, and he’s denying responsibility for me and our unborn child, claiming he can’t work due to mental instability. I’m at a loss for what to do.
