We’ve been together for almost four years, since she was in college. I’ve supported her through thick and thin, giving her everything I could during that time. Now I’m in Dubai, and she’s recently started earning her own money. Suddenly, she’s saying she wants to leave because she doesn’t see a future with me. Can I take legal action in this situation?

Under Indian law, your relationship, even if lasting four years, is not recognized as a marriage or a legally binding commitment. Without a formal marriage or a legally enforceable agreement, you cannot take legal action to prevent her from leaving.

My sister’s husband divorced her in 2007 without informing our family. She stayed with him despite the divorce and physical abuse, fearing for her children’s future. He has been having extramarital affairs and continues to mentally torment her. She is not allowed to visit our home and only came twice for a short period after my father’s passing. He also verbally abused our family and even travelled abroad to meet another woman. I have a few questions: 1. Since my sister still lives with her ex-husband, is their divorce valid? 2. If it is valid, how can she claim alimony since she received nothing at the time of the divorce? 3. What role do their children play in this situation? 4. Is the Domestic Violence Act applicable even though she is being mentally tortured?

My husband and I have been married for 10 years and have a 9-year-old son. We are married under Hindu Law. My husband is a retired Navy officer, now working with Boeing India in Bangalore. I live in New Delhi with our son. Sadly, he doesn’t provide me with any money for my needs. I used to work, but had to quit as there’s no one to care for my son – my parents and his family live far away. My husband receives both a pension and salary. Can I legally ask for monthly support even though we’re not getting a divorce? I don’t want to end our marriage, but I need financial assistance for myself.

My wife returned to her parents’ home after three months of pregnancy. Since then, we’ve been constantly arguing over the phone. After our child’s birth, I’m not even allowed to see my child properly, and she uses hurtful language. I haven’t even received a phone call from her in six months. Last week, when I tried to visit my child, they wouldn’t let me. Then, I received a threatening call from the police, who are close to them. What should I do now? Can I file for divorce? If so, what alimony and property share should I give (my salary is Rs. 68,000, and my home loan EMI is Rs. 35,000)? Can she claim ancestral property in a divorce?
