I’m 27, my wife is 21, and we’ve been married for 8 months. We’re Muslims and have no children. My mother (54) and I live with my wife. I’m a salaried employee earning around 10,000 rupees per month. Recently, after some disagreements, my wife verbally declared Khula and Triple Talaq to her family and my mother who was present. She’s now staying with her parents and took all her belongings. Her family claims she stayed at her father’s place because we asked her to. What are my legal obligations if I want to divorce her? Can she claim any property, even though my mother owns everything? What about maintenance after divorce? Should I give her her documents like birth certificate, leaving certificate, and passport?

Under Indian law, your wife’s verbal declaration of Khula and Triple Talaq is not legally valid for divorce. You can file for divorce through a court, and your wife can claim maintenance and a share of any property acquired during the marriage. You are legally obligated to return her documents.
