A couple can file for divorce by mutual consent under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. Both parties need to agree on the terms of the divorce, including custody of children and division of property. After filing the petition, they must live separately for one year and appear in court twice for confirmation.

My marriage wasn’t preceded by a police background check of my wife. Later, she filed a dowry harassment case (498A) and the court ordered maintenance. My father passed away last year without a will. Will my wife have any claim on the family property?

My husband left me after four months of marriage, demanding more dowry and harassing us with his family. I pleaded with him, but he refused to take me back. After another four months, he called, but I insisted on his promise to never harm me again before I would return. He agreed but delayed, eventually filing for judicial separation and an injunction, alleging false accusations like wanting him to live with us and assaulting him and his mother. I have proof of their dowry demands and harassment. Can I file for a dowry case and divorce, and will I be entitled to alimony considering my distance MBA?

My wife and I have been married for a year, but things haven’t worked out. We’ve been separated for the past two months, and haven’t been in touch. Now, her family is threatening to bring her back to my home against her will. What legal options do I have in this situation?

My first marriage didn’t work out, and I married a divorced woman in a ceremony that wasn’t legally registered. We had a daughter two years ago, but I haven’t seen her since she was six months old. My parents are simple villagers, worried about me. My mother-in-law influences my wife, and whenever we try to see our daughter, there are fights. My wife’s salary and all the jewelry, including what was mine, are with her mother. I’m now living abroad, and my wife stayed with my parents for a month, arguing with them. Could she file a dowry case against me now?

Can you explain what “ex parte” means? My wife is going through a legal matter without her husband involved, and I’m wondering if this means she’s more likely to win or lose.
