As a wife and mother in India, you have the right to seek divorce, custody of your children, alimony, and maintenance. Your specific rights will depend on factors like the length of your marriage, the reasons for the divorce, and the financial situation of both parties. It’s advisable to consult with a lawyer for personalized guidance.

My marriage in April 2016 was marred by constant harassment for money. When I refused, I endured emotional and physical abuse, which sadly led to a miscarriage. Despite this, I became pregnant again. However, my husband’s family, suspecting I was jobless, threw me out of their home with a two-month pregnancy. For seven long years, my parents and I hoped for change, but the abuse continued. They eventually tried to force me back, but we refused until we saw genuine improvement. Sadly, my husband, who only completed his 10th grade, never disclosed this to us before the marriage. Now they’ve filed for divorce. I need guidance and support.

My wife filed false charges against me under various sections, including 498A, 125, 125/3 and 127, two years ago. The Family Court and DV case court have now set an alimony amount.

Could this lead to any future complications?

My wife and I got married in 2004 under the Special Marriage Act, keeping it a secret from both our families. We lived separately until 2007, when we had a small ceremony and she moved in with my parents. Her family didn’t attend and basically disowned her. Later, in 2010, she got a government flat and we started living there. Now, in 2014, she filed a police complaint against me under sections 498A, 406, and 34, after I initiated divorce proceedings and moved out. Can section 406 be applied in a court marriage?

My brother, who lives in Latur, Maharashtra, and I are facing a difficult situation. His wife left our family home six years ago, taking two of their children with her. Despite several attempts to resolve the issues, we haven’t been able to bridge the gap. She now wants to sell our family property and move back to her hometown with my brother, a decision he’s against. Two years ago, we filed a legal case in Latur court, but it was dismissed due to lack of response from her side. I’m seeking advice on how to navigate this family dispute and find a solution.
