    my daughter is deserted by her husband as she has given birth to a mentally retarded child and she tried to save her marriage for 7 long years looking after the child single handedly without any physical help from her husband . now her husband applied for a divorce stating a false reason that my daughter is not adjusting with her inlaws . actually her husband stays in hyderabad as he is employed there and he has not disclosed his hyderabad address to his wife . he was sending some meagre amount for her and the child for the last 7 years and he never disclosed anything about his employment ,earnings and savings and my daughter also didn’t question him . now that he has applied for a divorce we dont know how to save the marriage first . he is adamant to get a divorce . if divorce is inevitable what is the maintenance eligibility of my daughter . her husband is earning around 40 lakhs per annum as he is the president of a multinational software company in hyderabad . for the year ending 2006 he has been allotted 40000 shares from the company under the stock option plan and it is worth about 50 lakhs rupees . this we picked up from the company annual report published in the website . that man is having retired father and mother and both are pensioners . what is the amount we can claim as maintenance for my daughter if divorce is inevitable and how much normally the court will decide . what is the criteria for fixing the maintenance amount . my daughter is a house wife . pls give a reply .

    Hi,

    My Friend got register marriage with his Sister daughter in Tamil nadu

    He only done the registration with girl under section 7 as per the Hindu marriage act 1967. But, he has undergone any ceremony and any sexual relation ship with the girl. The register marriage is done only for the confirmation to get married with girl later on with Hindu ceremony. Since, the girl was studying during that time and the girl’s elder sister was not married at the time. My friend wants to go abroad and he got the job in abroad already. So, all the family members were compelled my friend to get married legally and later on, once the girl’s elder sister marriage is over and the girl study over, he can come to India and get married as per the Hindu marraige ceremony.

    Due to all the above fact, my friend agreed to marry the girl and only garlanding in the temple with the girl.

    As per the marriage certificate it stated as, the marriage was held as per the Hindu marriage ceremony as per the sec 7 and it actually never happen. Also, it further stated as, the marriage was not held as per sec 7(A) but marriage was actully held as per the sec 7(A).

    Now the problem, the girl is already having an affair with one more boy and she does not want to marry my friend and my friend also not want to marry her as per the Hindu marriage ceremony because of her attitude and other things.

    In what way, we can cancel this register marriage certificate as null and void.

    Could you pls kindly e-mail me in detail. Thank you,

  13. 15 Dr Rajesh Kumar January 29, 2008 at 5:46 pm

    hi sir,
    My wife is suffering from paranoid schizophrenia since 1998.We got married in 2004,after marraige I could know about her disease through her. She had one attempt of suicide during her first episode from 4th floor and fractured her both lower limbs and back. Till marraige fractures were healed and she was managing everything normally.Before marraige her behaviour were slightly complex,but I couldn’t judged it as schizophrenia.Around marraige she was off the medicine, so one episode occured after 1 month of marraige. Then I planned for divorce on the ground of hidden facts of schizophrenia and sidewise gone for treatment. But doctor advised me for no divorce, as it can be managed with few drugs after few days of hospitalisation now.Since then I m managing with her with much difficulties and compromise because of her very high ambition, misinterpretation of facts, confusions and arguments. Many a times I got confused between her normal and diseaed behaviour.Since last one year she was on least possible dose of drug, because we were planning for pregnancy. But she could not conceive either due to effect of contraceptive used prior to planning or we r spending less time together as she is doing Phd in Sociology at Ranchi and myself doing specialisation in pediatrics at Rourkela. Recently she got another episode few days back and treatment with high dose antipsychotic has been started by the same psychiatrist.
    With this information I want your suggestions whether I should continue or divorce as I m in deep stress since last 4 years?

  21. 23 xxxxx March 9, 2008 at 7:25 am

    Hi !
    Very pathetic. A ranchi resident Mr Sanjay Sinha an employee of Adidas India P Ltd. did compel his married sister to settle at Noida on professional grounds.

    The filthy pic did emerge when he insisted his married sister within 2 weeks to go to Ranchi for her daughters’ schooling. Main motive was to look after the parents who were all set to move to their newly married son’s house.

    Actual and final motive arose after sometime when the daughter was not allowed to meet and talk to her father, later to be followed by a divore without any Notice.

    What can the greivance do when there was no notice was served by the court as per the hindu marriage act ?

    These are the shames of our society.

  22. 24 Austin Ajit March 15, 2008 at 7:06 am

    Dear Sir/ Mam,
    I seek your urgent help and guidance to face my daughter’s divorce case.

    She was married 6 yrs back. Her in-laws had demanded dowry in cash during marriage and I accepted their demand looking at my daughter’s future. After three years of marriage she conceived for two times but unfortunately got miscarriaged (Reasons not clear to me). After undergoing some medical treatment and surgery, the couple got to know that there is a least chance to conceive in future. She had undergone severe depression thinking about losing the respect in society. Her husband along with in-laws started teasing her. Also her husband threw the blame at her about the issue and started torturing. Due to severe depression and lack of support from husband she undergone mental illness. On the basis of this, her husband has filed a divorce case. Please provide your suggestion and support on how to handle this case.

    Thanks in advance..
    Best Regards

    • 26 Ashok Kumar July 1, 2009 at 4:44 pm

      Talk to ur husband about it.This is the only solution.If both of u are not happy get mutual divorce in the court.

      Live a happy life.

  24. 27 Gokul March 26, 2008 at 8:17 am

    Syamala, if your husband agrees you can go for Mutual consented divorce which need not have a ground , other than both fo you saying that you have ‘Irreconcilale differences’ and that you do not wish to stay married.

    Even if your husband do not agree for this you can approach the court saying that you have ‘Irreconcilable differences’ with your husband and explain your situation in which you keep thinking about your first affair, there are judgements which allow divorce without a valid ground as per hindu marriage act(cruelty, impotence, madness,e tc.). Please use those judjements, which your lawyer can locate.

    Anyway you should have shown this courage beofre marrying an innocent guy, but its never too late to do the right thing. But don’t suicide and put your husband in trouble, since if a wife dies within 7 years of marriage, the husband automatically becomes the prime suspect for ‘Dowry Death’!. Don’t mess this time, get out peacefully and live a life of courage.

  25. 28 krishna April 28, 2008 at 7:15 am

  32. 35 Raju August 16, 2008 at 5:37 pm

    Hi,

    I’m one of the affected husband by my wife. We got married last year june. And we were together till last november. I own a indivdual flat to my name and am earning above 25000 p.m. in top respected MNC and i have finished my bachelor degree with P.G.D.C.A course. And i have an younger brother who is also well settled. Both my parents or my brother is not dependent on my money.
    My wife lost her parents before 3 yrs and was living under care of one of her sister’s family guidance. she has totally 4 yelder sisters, where all were married. currently she is with her 3rd sister. she is very much attached to her sister’s huband, where she told me he is like my brother.
    she knows very well about my background and family, inspite she started her nice game plan. as she said, she is not interested in family life and she wants me to earn more than 50000pm, if i need to keep intercourse with her. and she wants my parents and my relatives to be seperated from me.
    she used to talk atleast 3 to 4 hrs every day in her mobile with her sisters husband, particularly between 10 to 11:30pm everyday and she used to avoid sex with me.
    I gave her more time, since i thought i can convince her. so i accepted some stupid orders from her. Even then when she got a night shift job referred by her sisters husband, without my knowledge in a resp. company for a salary of 10000.
    she left my home taking all her belongings even without informing me. she used to ask me for divorce many times, when we were together, if i does not repond to her stupid rules. But everything is now gone out of my hands and am now made my mind to get free from the torcher, so i moved legally to get divorce on mutual consent. I applied the case with her consent on last july’08.
    But she is not willing to cooperate for the divorce and her people used to threaten me verbally as usual and troubling me till date.
    I would like to put an end to it. since i’d like to live my life peacefully. I’m now moving as per the advise of my family court advocate.
    I have just mentioned a part of my trouble.

    Please advise what to be done in this case, as i need concentrate on my future prospectus peacefully.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Raju.

    Now the problem, the girl is already having an affair with one more boy and she does not want to marry my friend and my friend also not want to marry her as per the Hindu marriage ceremony because of her attitude and other things.

    In what way, we can cancel this register marriage certificate as null and void.

    Could you pls kindly e-mail me in detail. Thank you,

    Hi,
    Me and my husband are separated and due to some problem i have taken a decision not to live with him
    and as our marrage is not legally registered but according to hindu law we are married so can i still apply for a divorce

  42. 45 bnt November 6, 2008 at 1:27 pm

    Shipra,
    You can still apply for divorce. When there is no marriage registration, the court typically wants to see a couple of marriage photographs and wedding card. Its a simple procedure which the lawyer can easily guide you with.

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    I married a girl who belongs to very poor family, presuming that i am helping for a poor girl. I am working in abroad. I want to take her along with me. But when i try to get a passport for her, after 15 days of my marriage i found her guilty, bcas she had stoled around 4 lakh rupees from her previously worked finance company, and they have filed a criminal case against her and now that case is in court hearing. She has given the confession statement in a 50 rupees stamp paper. My self being a man of integrity, i am not in a position to accept a girl who has this kind of habit. I am willing to get rid of her. Is there any grounds. Please mail. me.

    Thanks and regards

    I’m 26 years old. I got married about 10 months ago. I’m living with my Mother who has brought me up after my father’s death about 18 years ago. Mine is a arranged marriage. My wife is very career minded & she can go to any level for achieving anything in her career. She wanted to get my mother out of the way. She would do that by spoiling her mind about me & she would do the same about my mom with me. Ultimately my Mom once spoke about it to me. AFter that we got united & made her realise her mistake. After this incident her parents started intefering in our day to day matters. After 8 months of marraige my wife went to her parents house as an excuse for illment & never returned back.

    We came to know from our sources that she had an affair before marriage & it didn’t work out. But few people saw her with her her ex-boy friend lately. It’s been 2 months of seperation between us now.

    I would like to know how many days/months of seperation is needed for filing divorce petition.
    I spoke to her once after she left my house & she is ready for consent divorce. Under the above circumstances can she demand maintenance ??

    Thanks.

  49. 52 CPK November 22, 2008 at 8:00 pm

    SK,if you prove her extra marital affairs in court, she cant demand maintenance.

  63. 66 Kailash February 20, 2009 at 6:40 pm

    Sir,
    I married in June 1996. I have daughter born in dec1998. Now I have found that my spouse had an affair from college days. It is established from e-mails/chats/phones (all trails are cleverly deleted by her) that my spouse is having affair with this muslim married guy having three children.

    On event of being caught on phone, She has in her own handwriting given confessions in plain paper of having emotionally and sexually involved with this guy. She has also expressly written about the encounters and places she had sex with this guy. She has also taken away my 10 yr old daughter. Now She is threatening me that I have taken the confessions forcefully. Besides she has started accusing me of having sex with her sister and relatives too.

    Kindly suggest best remedy whether to file for divorce and under what grounds. Is the handwritten confession enough of the proof?
    An e- mail wherein she has expressed herself to be part of is family??

    Dear Sir,
    I married a girl on 06/12/2007.During the time of proposal they told a lot of lies like she is a gov.I didn’t wanted to create issues and was loving her blindly.We had been together 4 2 weeks and I came back to dubai.Later I went to kerala for her delivery where I was not allowed even to touch my baby she and her relatives were treatening me and physically attaked me.The reason is that I told her oneday about the out of the way history of her mother which is a truth.Now I am in dubai again and I am not able to get any news about my baby which made me mental disorder and it is affecting the future of my job.She also doesn’t wants to live with me but doesn’t want mutual seperation which means she wants me to die and get my insurance claims.Will you please help me in such a situation as I am not in Kerala and if I leave dubai now I may loose my job.During these period I gave her 100000rs and 180grams of gold.

  68. 71 Harish March 31, 2009 at 5:10 am

    Dear Sir,

    I am a person who has not been granted divorce with the reason for lack of evidence for proving cruelty against my wife. I had filed the suit :

    I am giving below some of the points put forth by the honourable judge in her judgement :

    1. She has mentioned that my wife has submitted that she has no love or affection for me and had admitted me to her Company Hospital only on Humanitarian Grounds. (Does this amount to cruelty towards the husband under the Hindu Marraige Act)

    2. The Counselor has reported very clearly that there can be no amicable settlement possible between me and my wife.

    3. Further the honorable judge has put forth that my accepting the fact that I had asked my wife to go and sleep with anyone who was ready to give her Rs. 1000/- for touching her, amounts to cruelty but has not dwelled on the facts as to why such a situation has occurred in the fist place. Please note that it was my wife who had asked me to give her Rs. 1000/- everytime I touched her during one of our numerous arguments. I only vent my feelings to her at a later date during one of our other arguments.

    Further the judgement just dismisses the case mentioning some costs on both of us. It does not give any instruction as to the further continuance of our marraige and the conduct we have to adopt.

    What should be my response?

    Is it compulsory that I write a letter to my wife and invite her back to continue life with me?
    I do not want to do this because this gives my wife a chance to come back and again start creating problems for me as previously.

    I do not want to go in for an appeal.

    Can I defend myself on the above 3 points mentioned in the judgement.

    Kindly advice.

    Warm regards.

    Respected Sir / Madam,

    i and my family members are victims of the grave cruelty, physical and mental torture by my wife and her parents. she constantly used abusive language against me and my parents (who are old and need medical treatment), always nagged me and demanded luxurious and costly materialistic possessions (which i did get her as per her wishes), her parents used to threaten me of dire consequences if i didnt do as she demanded. then she and her father came to our place, beat me and my family members brutally and lodges false 498A case against me. her father also sent the FIR copy to my office so that i lose my job. now, i have filed for divorce. why isnt there any provision in law which can teach such cruel people lesson ?

On 3rd case(filed by me) for custody of children court has passed orders 2 meet them on last Saturday of every month but since Jan 2008 she has brought d children only 04 times that too when court insisted her, i have requested d h’ble court 2 give me d children’s coustody when she is not honouring d h’ble court’s orders but nothing has been done so far. Case for maintenance and custody of children is in d same court for d same judge is guardian judge.Case under DVAct is also pending (filed by her) since Apr 2007.
    Pl advise i m badly tired of this whole system which drags people like me nd makes us sick of d so called system which is badly collapsed long back.

    After my marriage i have come to know that my wife had done sex with many men. She accepted this fact that she slept with few men. But she told me not do these kind of things after marriage. But she was still in a contact with some of her sleeping partners.

    But now my conscious is not allowing me to stay with her. I belong to a spirtual family. My health is declining day by day by remembering her this act. I think i am suffering from depression now. I just dont want to saty with her more. Can a divorce in this case is possible . Please reply as soon as possible.

    Dear Himanshu,

    Firstly take care of ur health.
    I was wondering what if your wife didnt tell u about her past ? Would you have still thought of divorcing her ?
    I am not being feminist, but even if you marry another women or have a girlfriend there is no way you can know, if she is virgin or not. This is true for both men and women.
    Look around you for your un-married friends/colleagues both male and female; most of them in a relationship have physical relationship before marriage. And most of the times, they end up marrying some other person.
    The point is if before knowing this fact, you had a good relationship, love & respect for each other; and if your wife doesnt have such physical relationships now, then if i were you, i would not think of divorce and wud try and not think of her past, if the present is GOOD.
    Again, if after marriage your wife has no physical relationship and you feel depressed thinking about what she did in past, I woud suggest, Please vist a Marriage councillor.
    As you said you are from a spiritual family, please try and relax your self, do some good book read on marriage.
    Take Care.

    Dear Himanshu,

    As per your case, follwoing can be a ground for divorce:-

    Adultery – The act of indulging in any king of sexual relationship including intercourse outside marriage is termed as adultery. Adultery is counted as a criminal offence and substantial proofs are required to establish it. An amendment to the law in 1976 states that one single act of adultery is enough for the petitioner to get a divorce.

Some Interesting Stats On Arrests Of Women

In 1930, the British govt arrested 17,000 women for their involvement in the Dandi Yatra (Salt March). During 1937 to 1947 (10 Years), they arrested 5,000 women involved in the freedom struggle. From 2004 to 2006, the govt of India arrested 90,000 women of all ages under 498A. On the average, 27,000 women per year are being arrested under this flawed law. These are stats from the NCRB.

The police, in cahoots with the magistrate and the PP, could do this due to the ridiculous allegations made by his embittered ex-wife. She filed the 498A years after the last time he and his family had last seen her.
