We’ve been married for three years, but haven’t been able to start a family yet. My wife works in Abu Dhabi, while I was working in Dubai until last year, when I had to return to India due to unforeseen circumstances. Sadly, I’m unemployed now and we’ve been living apart for the past year because her work contract and UAE law don’t allow us to live together. This distance has put a lot of strain on our relationship, and she’s now sent me a legal notice for divorce on mutual grounds. It feels like I’m being taken for granted and pushed into divorce. Is there anything I can do legally, and is there such a thing as a one-sided divorce in India?

Indian law doesn’t recognize one-sided divorce. You have the right to respond to the legal notice and contest the divorce, presenting your case and highlighting the circumstances that led to the separation. You can explore mediation or counseling to try and resolve the issues and potentially save the marriage.

I’m going through a divorce, and I’ve filed for custody based on adultery and also a DNA test. The court is now ready for arguments on the DNA case. I have strong evidence like my wife’s medical records and even phone recordings where she admits to being with someone else during the time the child could have been conceived. Should I present these proofs before, after, or during the arguments? What would be the best approach here? I’m a bit lost, and any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Previous Article Our neighbour in Bangalore, a teacher, hit our child four years ago while we were away. When we confronted her, she verbally abused us and denied the incident. She continued to harass us, locking our door, throwing our maid’s belongings, and even recording our reactions to her abuse. We filed complaints at the local police station, but no FIR was registered. Her daughter, older than our son, bullied him at school, pushing him off the bus and forcing him to eat suspicious chocolates. We were terrified and had to transfer our son to another school. Concerned for other children, we informed the teacher’s school about her history of violence, without revealing our identity. Now, she threatens to use our complaint as evidence against us in court. We are worried she will try to harm our child again, especially if she joins his current school. Please advise us on how to protect our family from further harassment.
