My wife left our home in Mumbai about 10 months ago. We have two daughters, one is 3 years old and the other is 2. My wife has the younger one, while I have the elder. Recently, my wife, her father, and her mother physically attacked me. I filed a police report (FIR) and got medical attention. While my complaint is still under investigation, my father-in-law also filed a separate complaint against us. He claims we attacked him and threatened him. I’m at my wit’s end and don’t want to prolong this situation. Please advise on how to get justice and a divorce from my wife, considering we’ve been married for 4 years.

Based on your situation, you should focus on getting the police investigation completed and seeking legal counsel to file for divorce. The court will consider the physical assault, your wife’s desertion, and the welfare of your daughters during the divorce proceedings. You can also explore options for joint custody and child support arrangements.

I’ve been married for 10 years now, with two lovely daughters. Recently, I found out that my husband had an affair with my cousin. He promises it won’t happen again, says he’s changed, and begs for a chance. But my heart just can’t believe it. I’m terrified to take action because of my daughters. I’m worried about how this would affect their lives. I can’t even talk to anyone about this because it would ruin my cousin’s reputation and her marriage too. I’m lost and don’t know what to do. Please help me find a way forward.

My parents got married in 1992. Sadly, my dad became mentally unwell around 2003-2004 and has been receiving treatment for his condition. During this time, my uncle sold our family business without my father’s consent, and the remaining property is now under my dad’s name. He’s been physically abusing my mother and me, even threatening our lives. I’m desperately trying to find a way to secure financial support so we can leave him and build a safe and happy life for ourselves. How much financial assistance can I receive to help us escape this situation?

I got married on 15th March 2015, and my wife has been living with me ever since. However, for the past month, she, along with her parents, has been constantly harassing me, threatening to harm me, and even using goons to intimidate me. They have also filed false cases to ruin my career because I want to pursue civil services. I want to seek a divorce based on cruelty. How can I do this safely, without them filing further false accusations against me? We did not have any intimate relations for the first 40 days of our marriage, and even after that, it only happened under duress. She refuses to engage in any such activity. Is there any legal provision requiring compensation in such a case, especially since we didn’t take any dowry?

My husband and I, both Bengalis, got married under the Special Marriage Act seven months ago. However, I was forced to leave after just a week due to unbearable mental abuse. I’ve been living with my family ever since. My husband lives abroad, and when I visited him six months ago, he wasn’t at his listed address. He refused to meet or talk to me, even when local police tried to reach him. I returned to India that day and haven’t heard from him or his family since. I want to file for divorce. When can I do so, and under what circumstances could the process be delayed or denied?

Do I need a marriage certificate to file for divorce in India?

Next Article My neighbour and I both own 1500 square feet plots, each facing a different road. However, there’s an extra 600 square feet of land between our plots that’s not accounted for in the official documents. I’ve built my house on my 1500 square feet and used a portion of the extra space for gardening and a small wooden room. Now, my neighbour is claiming this extra space belongs to him and wants me to demolish the room. He’s refusing to measure his property from the road, and won’t even consider sharing the disputed area. It feels like he’s trying to grab this extra land, especially since he’s a police officer and is pressuring me. What legal steps can I take to protect my property and address this situation?
