While a post-dated cheque can be used for settlements in India, it’s not mandatory. Consult a lawyer to understand the risks involved and alternative payment methods like bank transfer, which may offer more legal protection.

My wife and I went through a divorce. She filed false cases against me and my family, demanding a monthly maintenance of ₹6,000. The problem is I only earn ₹6,000 a month, and I can’t even afford to support my parents. Later, we found out that she has a job earning ₹20,000 a month. Our lawyer said it’s too late to show this proof as the High Court already passed a judgment. Is there any other way I can avoid paying her this amount so I can support my family?

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.

My sister got married in 2010 and filed a dowry case against her in-laws. She later filed another case in 2012 demanding her ‘stridhan’ (wedding gifts). She submitted a detailed list of items with receipts as proof. We didn’t create a list during her wedding. Is it crucial to have a list prepared beforehand? How can we compile one, given gifts received before and after the wedding? Are there any rulings from the High Court or Supreme Court on this matter?

I’m a Hindu woman and have been living separately from my husband for the past two years. He refuses to take me back, and even though we filed for a mutual consent divorce, I withdrew my consent. The case was dismissed. Can I file a dowry case against him now? His sister took all my jewelry just two days after our wedding. We were both under immense mental stress and didn’t even read the divorce papers properly before signing them. My father also faced severe stress during this time. He spent 15 lakhs for the wedding and has only returned 7 lakhs he borrowed in cash. I’m confused and need guidance. My husband hasn’t provided any financial support for the past two years, but I have been working in a government job for the past year.

We’re living apart, and it feels like things are heading towards a divorce. My husband works abroad, while I’m back in India with our 3-year-old son, staying with my parents. He hasn’t sent any money for a year, but I was working and didn’t ask. Now, I’ve lost my job. He doesn’t want me anymore, just our child, and he’s been incredibly verbally abusive throughout this whole ordeal. It’s clear he doesn’t like my parents either. I don’t want a divorce, but if he continues down this path, I’m left with no choice.

Her family threatens legal action if they don’t get a share of the family business. They’re even using tactics like a fake suicide attempt to pressure my brother’s family. This is causing a lot of stress and tension, and we’re unsure what to do.
