My wife left our home in April 2014 after just five months of marriage, without a word. I’ve tried everything to bring her back, but it’s been no use. She also ended our pregnancy without my knowledge. I don’t have proof of the abortion, but I’m planning to file for divorce. My lawyer advised me to send a legal notice first, citing desertion and cruelty as grounds.

Under Indian law, your wife’s desertion for over a year without justification is grounds for divorce. The abortion, if proven, would add cruelty as another ground. Sending a legal notice is a crucial first step before filing for divorce.

Previous Article As a director of a private limited company in India, I’m facing a challenging situation. My business partner, also a director, has filed a criminal case against me alleging fraud under sections 420, 467, and 468. He claims I misused his signature without his knowledge, which is entirely false. However, an amount of around 12 lakhs was indeed transferred to my personal account. I founded the company and poured my heart into it, but due to financial constraints, we struggled. Sadly, I had to close the office last year, although the company hasn’t been formally wound up yet. I used my personal funds to cover business expenses, and my mistake was withdrawing some money due to my lack of accounting knowledge. I was young and placed too much trust in my partner. Despite resolving all issues with him previously and providing explanations, he’s now demanding the entire amount back. I’m seeking advice from legal experts to navigate this complex situation.
