Hi
My husband had filled a petition of judicial seperation section 10 of hindu marriage based on cruelty as mentioned in summon.
I am living with him at his home with having a baby girl of 1 year.
I don't want to give divorce or seperation to him.
So Is this easy for him to get seperation through court.??
Also wants tò know that separation and divorce are similar ??

A.I beg to differ in the matter of evidence. Evidence is very important in Law, family Courts are no exception to it. If your husband proves cruelty he will get a decree for judicial separation. But judicial separation is not divorce.

A.See, in family court, evidence has no significance. The only thing that matters is that whether the marriage is fit to be dissolved or not. The court is not for the purpose of separating a family, but it is founded for resolving disputes and bringing the couple to reunion.

Whatever it is that your husband has recorded over phone does not matter. Tell the judge that you have a child and don't want the separation to be granted. Only that will be taken to consideration by the judge.

Any further doubts, call me through Vidhikarya.

A.(1) Judicial Separation(JS) is the first step prior to a divorce. At any time after the pronouncement of decree of judicial separation a petition for divorce can be filed. It is a ground for divorce. After a decree of JS is granted and petition for converting it into divorce is presented, the court will not inquire into any grounds for divorce and will grant a divorce. JS does not require spouses to stay at different places. They can reside under a common roof. Only their conjugal duties towards each other comes to an end. If husband tries to establish physical relationship with wife during the period of JS separation, he will be charges u/s 376(A) IPC.

JS is a temporary suspension of marriage (period of suspension is one year). Neither party is bound to cohabit with other and gives the liberty to live separately. Neither party can remarry during period of judicial separation. There is a possibility of reconciliation. If differences are sorted out amicably and cohabitation resume, then parties are to file a petition for annulling a decree of JS.

(2) Divorce puts an end to the marriage and all mutual rights, and obligations stand terminated. Its a two-step process- first reconciliation and then divorce. The parties are free to marry again after divorce.


Engage a lawyer from Vidhikarya to enter and contest his application and also file a petition for maintenance for yourself and your one your baby. Since you don't want divorce, drag JS proceeding.

You must oppose his JS petition on the ground that the grant of a decree of separation will result in grave financial hardship to you and your 1 year baby girl and that it would cause great injustice to the child should the parents get separated. The Court would certainly consider these grounds and may either dismiss his petition or stay all proceedings until arrangements have been made to its satisfaction to eliminate the hardship.

Your lawyer should press before the Court at all times and remind the court that for the interest and future of the child, presence of both parents plays an eminent part in a child's life and growing up with dignity and value. A child should not suffer just because her parents are not able settle with their petty differences. Court should exhaust all corners and means and give its best efforts to save a family getting ruined. No selfish-interest or differences is beyond the interest and welfare of a child.

You can refer to The Marriage Laws (Amendment) Act, 2013 which have amended the Hindu Marriage Act 1955 thereby inserting section 13C, 13D, 13E.

13D. (1) Where the wife is the respondent to a petition for the dissolution of marriage by a decree of divorce under section 13C, she may oppose the grant of a decree on the ground that the dissolution of the marriage will result in grave financial hardship to her and that it would in all the circumstances, be wrong to dissolve the marriage.

(2) Where the grant of a decree is opposed by virtue of this section, then,—
(a) if the court finds that the petitioner is entitled to rely on the ground set out in section 13C; and
(b) if, apart from this section, the court would grant a decree on the petition,
the court shall consider all the circumstances, including the conduct of the parties to the marriage and the interests of those parties and of any children or other persons concerned, and if, the court is of the opinion that the dissolution of the marriage shall result in grave financial hardship to the respondent and that it would, in all the circumstances, be wrong to dissolve the marriage, it shall dismiss the petition, or in an appropriate case stay the proceedings until arrangements have been made to its satisfaction to eliminate the hardship.

As far as audio recording is concerned, use of abusive language is very common and frequent these days and have almost become a part of our social life. No man or woman can say that he/she has never abused during their lifetime in adverse circumstances. Court would consider in its observation under what circumstances those words were uttered. You can't clap with one hand, and neither smoke is emitted without a fire. He must have done certain wrong to provoked you resulting such words to fall out from from your mouth. Those abusive words were merely unintentional. You're an educated woman and well aware of your limits. Merely use of abusive language should not be considered as a good ground of separation, unless wife have completely withdrawn from the society of her husband and had refused her conjugal duties. Your lawyer should know these tactics of twisting and turning the table around. Make him the culprit as he had pre-planned everything and therefore done the recording to make out a case of JS. You're just his victim fallen in his trap by his provocation.

So don't burden yourself and stop blaming yourself for those common things. Get a lawyer from Vidhikarya to oppose his JS petition.

Go by the advice of your conduction lawyer. However, considering my view from outside, I suggest not to withdraw unless the counselling agents have concluded that it won't be fruitful to continue with the process and drawn their report about the factual aspects and opinion in the matter.

Same here Madam, I can understand the pain and trouble you are going through. and at the same time I appreciate you for holding your grounds so firmly. You're also a great mother fighting for your child's rights as well. An inspiration for other women too.

Every effort counts and I hope all his ego and pride breaks once the 498A proceeding begins before JM/MM and come to terms with you. Else JM/MM by its findings and observations pass an adverse order against him.

You can anytime write to me about your concerns if any. I will definitely reply back if time permits. You can get my contact details from Vidhikarya. Regards. Blessing your way

Hello sir..
I hope you are fit and fine.
Actually my husband has a whtsapp screen shot proof of my chat with one of my collegue. The time when i was pregnant that time i had a chat like ""madam how are you and you have conceived a baby congrates ..your husband is back from pune or not.you must have a baby boy agr na hua its ok next mera kar lena..."i mean that was totally fun.
And now my husband is also making ground of divorce to this chat and saying that i have extra marital affair.
So my question is what should i say in front of judge.
Whether i say that the chat was not mine or my husband have done this chat through my phone with his friend.
I need your advice in this.

A.Judicial separation is different from divorce. Separation is temporary, but divorce is permanent dissolution of marriage.

Getting judicial separation is not easy, provided you contest the case. There will be counselling and it is usually very effective.

There is nothing to worry. I advise you to contest the case.

A.Divorce and separation are different.In divorce, husband and wife relationship comes to an end.In separation, the legal relationship continues, only thing is that they are not bound to cohabit with each other.During the period of separation,the parties cannot remarry.There is a scope for reconciliation and settlement in separation whereas in divorce there is no scope.

A.basic difference between Judicial Separation and divorce is that divorce brings the marriage to an end whereas judicial separation does not. ... The procedure and grounds for getting both, Judicial separation and divorce are the same. It is at the option of the parties which remedy they choose from the court.

A.Answerd by Adv kavery Anand Bangalore.dear client..1) Ur husband filed separation petition.. and u don't want to get separat or Divorce from him then u can file RCR ... restitution of conjugal rights.

2) legal separation and divorce is little different from one , another...

Divorce is going away forever from wedlock.
Separation is only getting separation through legal ( living separate) but u will have all the rights on properties and other responsibilities.
