My wife and I, both Indian citizens, got married in India under the Hindu Marriage Act and registered the marriage there. After moving to Australia, we decided to separate and I initiated divorce proceedings in both India and Australia. I was granted a divorce in Australia, but my wife argued that it should be settled in India. The Australian court rejected her argument. She is now a permanent resident of Australia. Can I remarry an Indian woman in India, given these circumstances? What are my options?

You can remarry an Indian woman in India. As the Australian court granted you a divorce, it is recognized in India under the Foreign Marriage Act, 1969. Since you were married under the Hindu Marriage Act, you can remarry under the same law.

Hi! I’m planning to get married in court with my boyfriend today. Is there any kind of notice that will be sent to our homes? Please guide me, thanks!

My wife and I were living in a rented room near her parents’ house. We had a disagreement with her family, and a year ago, on 28th May, they came to our place while I was away and took her back with some wedding photos. I filed a police complaint, but they denied our marriage and told me to return to my home in Kanpur and avoid contacting my wife. When I tried to reach out to her, they filed another police complaint. I sent a legal notice through my lawyer on 22nd April to clear up the situation. What should I do now?

My fiancée and her family are caught in a false 498A case. Her family is in Bhavnagar, but she was studying in Surat during and after her brother’s marriage. She never lived with her sister-in-law, yet her sister-in-law filed a case against the entire family. I live in Canada and want to bring my fiancée here urgently. Some say she can’t get a passport due to the case. Is this true? If not, how can she get a passport? How can we remove her name from the case? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ravi.

My wife left me in 2013, when our daughter was just 3 years old. I tried to visit her at her family home, but they refused, citing their influence and wealth. Since they had no grounds for a formal divorce, they pressured me in 2016 to sign papers, promising access to my daughter. I reluctantly agreed, signing a 50-rupee stamp paper outlining child custody, care, and meeting rights. This agreement clearly stated I could meet my daughter twice a month. However, after the divorce decree was issued, they again denied me access. The divorce order doesn’t mention any child care or meeting arrangements as we settled it outside court. Now I’m heartbroken and feel cheated. How can I see my daughter?

As an Indian citizen married for 15 years, I’m 35 years old and have a history of documented infertility. We had twin boys through gestational surrogacy five years ago using frozen embryos. Now, my husband and I want to have another child using our remaining frozen embryos through surrogacy again. I have two questions: 1. Since the Surrogacy Bill of 2016 hasn’t been enacted yet, can I proceed with the surrogacy process? 2. If the bill is passed during my potential pregnancy, what are the legal implications?
