A. Dear Madam,
Yes, you both can claim maintenance and a right to reside permanently in the house property of your husband. Better file Domestic Violence case and claim protective order to stay in the same house and file another case claiming maintenance of 25% of your husband towards monthly maintenance out of his salary and other sources.

PLEASE GIVE ME RATING AS RANK 5

Hello, My marriage is registered under Hindu marriage act. After 6 years of marriage we decided to for separation but my wife is out of india and i am in india. She is ready to do everything for this


A. As your wife is not wiling to come to India for the divorce, you can seek permission of the Hon'ble Court to make the entire proceedings online. If the court permits for such proceedings, you can get the divorce by mutual consent through online hearing.
Thanks

icon Can I divorce by signing on stamp paper

Mei apne sasjral walo se dukhi wo muje bahut torture krte torture in sense ladai aur un logo ne muj pr bahut baar juthe blame b lagaye,mere husband kuch ni bolte hai aur galti se kabhi bol b dete hai


A. Divorce allowed by court only is valid and recognised. So giving divorce on stamp paper is of no value and marriage does not dissolved by writing on stamp paper. You and your husband can live seperately and independently in order to avoid day today fight and torture.

I have decided to go for contested divorce after 13 years of marriage and has a daughter of 5 years old. The ground of divorce is cruelty by my wife on me , psychologically , physical abuse. Now I a


A. Hi,
If your marriage is governed by the Hindu marriage laws, cruelty as a reason for divorce will not be deemed valid from the husband's perspective.

Thank you very much. Pleas ...ReadMore
