In India, divorce proceedings begin with filing a petition in a Family Court based on grounds like cruelty, adultery, desertion, or irretrievable breakdown of marriage. The court then issues notices to both parties, and after hearing their arguments and evidence, may grant a divorce if it deems it appropriate.

Can a woman who received a lump sum payment after a mutual divorce, where she agreed not to seek maintenance, still ask for maintenance under CrPC 125 in the future if she stays unmarried? Is it against public interest to require a written agreement from her stating she won’t seek maintenance?

Humne November 2014 mein shaadi ki thi. 25 August ko, meri patni ghar se chali gayi aur do din baad apne maa-baap ke ghar pahunchi. Humne unki missing complaint di thi. Phir, 1 September 2015 ko unhone mujhpe aur mere parivar pe, IPC 498A, 323, 504, 506 3/4 aur mere 14 saal ke chote bhai pe 376/511 ka case lagaya. Is sabke baad, main apni patni ko sath nahin rakh sakta, kyunki yeh mere parivar ke liye bahut pareshaniyan banayega. Mujhe kya karna chahiye, divorce ke liye? Aur police mujhe kab arrest kar sakti hai?

My wife left for another country after we mutually agreed to divorce. Our agreement was for a settlement of ₹6 lakhs, of which I’ve already paid ₹3 lakhs. Now, she’s unavailable and has given her father power of attorney. We’re ready to pay the remaining ₹3 lakhs, but they’re refusing to send the power of attorney papers until we pay the full amount. I’m worried they might take the money and still not complete the divorce process. The judge suggested we try to reach an agreement outside the courtroom, but I’m unsure what to do. Any advice on how I should proceed?
