We’ve been married for seven years, with a six-year-old child. For the past six years, my wife and I haven’t shared a room, and we barely speak. Her brother is a police officer, and she uses that to intimidate me whenever we argue. We’ve been stuck in this situation for years, unable to resolve things. I want a divorce to find peace, but my parents are afraid of her brother and won’t let me. How can I move forward with ending this marriage?

You have grounds for divorce under Indian law based on the grounds of cruelty and irretrievable breakdown of marriage. Your wife’s use of her brother’s position to intimidate you constitutes cruelty. Consult a lawyer to initiate divorce proceedings and address your concerns about your in-laws’ influence. It’s crucial to take the necessary steps to ensure your well-being and secure your right to seek separation.

My wife wants a divorce because she discovered old messages from my girlfriend. We were close before marriage, and I tried to end it after our wedding. I told my girlfriend that I’d only be friends from then on, but she gets very upset if I’m not attentive. It took a long time to distance myself completely. I never told her about my marriage because I wanted to handle this discreetly. Unfortunately, the police helped her get our old messages, which include some inappropriate language. I never physically cheated on my wife, but she’s convinced otherwise. We live in Gujarat, and my girlfriend is in Kerala, so we only had an emotional connection over the phone. She’s also married with a child. If my wife files a case against me, my girlfriend’s family will be dragged into it, potentially ruining her marriage and her son’s life. I wanted to solve this myself, but my intentions have been misinterpreted. I truly love my wife and can’t imagine life without her. However, her parents are pushing for divorce, claiming this as the reason. They want a mutual consent divorce, which I don’t want. If I refuse, they’ll file a case. What are the possible outcomes of this case? Can I prove my innocence?
