Under Indian law, you have grounds to seek legal recourse. Your wife’s behavior constitutes mental cruelty, impacting your marital harmony. You can file for divorce or seek a restraining order against her abusive conduct.

My brother and his wife have been living separately for the past half a year. Now, she has filed a dowry harassment case (498A) against my brother, my wife, my mother, and me. We are confused because we live separately from them. How can we be accused of harassment when we don’t even live together? My brother has also filed a complaint against her at the local police station. She doesn’t seem to be under his control, and often leaves to stay with her parents without informing him. When he asks her to return, she threatens him with the 498A case. Eventually, she filed the case. Additionally, my brother has recently undergone medical tests, and we know she has a health condition that can be transmitted through sexual contact. Her treatment will take a year. Could this be grounds for divorce? We are at a loss as to how the police are pursuing this case against us when we live separately. Please guide us on how to proceed.

My wife and I married in 2010. Her father gifted us ₹2 lakhs, deposited in my mother’s account, even though we never asked for anything. For the past four years, we’ve treated my wife like a daughter, and our family and neighbors know it. However, she suddenly left for her parents’ home in January 2014, accusing us of harassment and filing a domestic violence case. We haven’t seen our one-and-a-half-year-old daughter in six months. We’re worried that the ₹2 lakhs received in 2010 might cause problems in this case. We’re confident we can prove our innocence, but will this money create issues? We also gave my wife jewelry worth ₹1 lakh during our marriage.

My grandfather owns 45 acres of land, with 35 acres inherited from his family and 10 acres purchased using the income from the inherited land. He has no other income. Since he bought the 10 acres with the income from his ancestral land, is it considered ancestral or self-acquired property? My grandfather had two wives. My mother is the daughter of his first wife. After my grandmother passed away, he remarried and has four children with his second wife. He’s still alive. Can my mother claim an equal share of the property with the children from my grandfather’s second wife?

I want to know if I can file for divorce and if he can use those pictures to fight it. I don’t want to stay with him anymore.
