We’ve been married for a week, and the lawyer prepared an affidavit only signed by us. We haven’t registered the marriage with the BMC yet. We’re both unhappy with the decision and want to separate amicably. Is there a way to do this without going through a full divorce? We’re both willing to pay any necessary fees. Please advise.

Since you haven’t registered your marriage with the BMC, it is not legally recognized under Indian law. You can separate amicably without a formal divorce as the marriage is not legally valid. However, it’s advisable to consult a lawyer to finalize a separation agreement that addresses property and other relevant issues.

My wife and I, an NRI couple, had an arranged marriage last year in India. We have a three-month-old baby. She has been staying with her parents for the past six months. We only lived together for two months, and she was with my family for just 2.5 months. I never demanded dowry, but now her parents are making false allegations against me. She has stopped responding to my calls, texts, and emails for two months. My parents tried to reach out to her, but she refused to come back without explanation. Recently, I was cut off from my family property and relationships, including my wife and baby. What legal options do I have, and what are the worst-case scenarios? Can they summon me abroad, especially if they don’t have my address? Could they harass my parents? Will this affect my NRI status?

My friend’s brother is going through a tough divorce, and my friend is trying to help him. However, his in-laws are threatening legal action if he doesn’t stop supporting his brother. They’re determined to make this difficult for him. It’s been going on for a while, and things are escalating. Could his brother take legal action against them for the way they’ve been acting?

As a Hindu, I’ve been married for almost a decade. My wife left home over two years ago and hasn’t returned. I’ve tried everything to bring her back, but nothing seems to work. I’m considering filing for divorce based on her desertion, but I’m worried about her potentially filing false accusations like dowry harassment, domestic violence, or maintenance. A friend mentioned it might be difficult for her to file such claims after so long. Could you please clarify if this is true?

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.

My husband is refusing to pay the Rs. 12,000 maintenance order from the court, and has only offered Rs. 3,000. Should I challenge this in the High Court, or can I do it in the Family Court in my town? I’m getting conflicting advice, so I need clear guidance.
