Hello,
Please note that you can not take divorce by any means before 1 year of the marriage i.e., before Dec 2018.
Also. till then you may talk to her and plan to dissolve the marriage after that and till then you may file a case for judicial separation.
Regards
1) only in exceptional circumstances can you file for divorce before expiry of one year of marriage
2) file for divorce after expiry of one year of marriage
3) visit a family counsellor to resolve your differences
4) divorce by mutual consent is best option
5) contested divorce cases take 5 years to be disposed of
Respected sir ...
These types of cases are common now a days and the big issue for the society is that there is not any solution at all ...Sir there is a very simple procedure of it that ...If you want to take divorce you have to file a petition under section 13-A of HMA if she is not redy for divorce . And if she is ready then you will have to go under section 13-B of HMA ...Sir law is very simple it's all upto you that what you wants ....Just make your mind clear and go ahead ....
Thank you
1) As of now you won't be able to file for divorce. Divorce can filed after one year of marriage. And for that you have to leave separately for atleast six months from her.
2) If you still want to get rid out from here than you can go for annulment of marriage.
Dear Concern,
The fact that you are a Hindu and yours was a social marriage (I am presuming it to be so) your marriage will be governed by the Hindu Marriage Act. As per the laws laid down in Hindu Marriage Act no party can get separated from each other unless their marriage has completed full one year. Since your marriage has happened in December 2017 so you can't get divorce prior to December 2018.
However, you can come up with the case of Judicial Separation before the Family Court of Navi Mumbai and can seek Judicial Separation from your wife. Judicial Separation is equivalent to Divorce. The only difference in between them is that you can restart your life together as a husband wife even after Judicial Separation but once you are divorced there's no coming back. Once you have been granted with the Judicial Separation based on that you can apply for divorce which will be granted to you very easily.
It's not an easy job to get rid of her especially when there is no serious allegations against her more over your marriage is hardly6 months old.
For the present you may file a petition seeking judicial separation.
After that after one year if things do not improve you then you may file a divorce petition as per law.
Beware that she may resort to false criminal complaint against you in retaliation.
1. All the arranged marriage in most circumstances face with initial misunderstanding leading to frequent quarreling and animosity.
2. So the harsh words sued during such fights should be treated as meaningless made at the spur of the moments. So the threat of shooting you is nothing but the sudden outburst of rage emanating from frustrations.
3. Spend more private moments with your wife The more you stay with her the more chances of removal of misunderstanding sooner that later.
4 You are the very early stage of marriage. SO do not think in negative terms. Good luck.
Consider the option filing for mutual divorce but for that you need your wife's consent. Find out whether she has a relationship with other person or not because that will help you to avoid paying maintenance and get rid of her. Arrange a lawyer to file the divorce petition.
Thanks to all. please also tell me, after an year complete, if i proceed for divorce, then should i have to pay maintenance and alimony. note- her monther have own beauty parlor and she is working there. she is taking care of all work in parlor. she is earning good amount there.
In that case you have to show that she's is earning not her mother. For that her bank statements & ITR will be needed.
1) You have to prove that she is employed in her mother's beauty parlour. And earning ample of amount for her day today expenses.
Than you will be not entitled to pay her alimony and maintenance.
you will have to pay interim maintenance to wife .
2) draw attention of court to fact that wife is working and has her own beauty parlour
3) take photographs of her beauty parlour
You can file a divorce in family Court. You can also try to go for mutual consent divorce which is speedy.
The maintenance will not depend on when you file the divorce case.
That is a different subject to divorce, she can file it anytime.
If you file for divorce before expiry of one year of marriage, Then the chances os gettind divorce are very less.so, its advised that file for divorce after expiry of one year of marriage. You can file for judicial separation in the meanwhile.
If you prove to the court that you're wife is well qualified as well as working inxher mother's parlour and can maintain herself, then you would have to pay either no or less maintenance to her, but the burden of proof would be on you to prove her earnings.
Dear Sir,
You can file divorce petition on the ground of cruelty and desertion. In the meanwhile you must know merits and demerits of such action which are elicitated in the following FAQs.
