Hello,

1) If an occasional indulgence in the practice of Black Magic as alleged is taken as the sole ground for divorce, your aunt has nothing to be worried about the case as first of all this does not fall under the recognized grounds for divorce.The petition in all likelihood will be dismissed.

2) The defence your aunt must take is that she has been tortured and that the petition is unfounded. Let her contest the case.

3) Know also that she can file a case under Domestic Violence Act against her husband seeking protection,maintenance,accommodation shared or otherwise and compensation for torture suffered at his hands.

4) Under current laws the wife has no right over the property of her husband but as mentioned above she has right to maintenance and alimony.

1. It is not a valid ground for seeking a decree of divorce,

2. She can contest it fittingly,

3. For any torture on her, she can file DV case and seek right to stay in her matrimonial accomodation or alternate accomodation, maintenance etc.,

4. She has no right on her husban's property during his life time.

Upon filing of Divorce Petition she need to appear before the concerned court and oppose his Petition and deny his allegations. She can seek maintenance and right to residence or one time alimony/compensation/settlement. She cannot claim right over his property.

She can oppose the divorce until she get reasonable alimony or maintenance.
