Re: Divorce and Alimony

I think its better to reconcile than to take divorce on any other ground as per facts stated by you and with respect to quantum of maintainence the court decides the same after hearing both parties.

Re: Divorce and Alimony

You have paid the money through your accounts can be a stand in your favour in this case.

I would advise you to contact personally with the details as it would be too long to explain everything here.

Re: Divorce and Alimony

On maintenance part, you may not have to suffer much but you will be liable to return to her the share in flat which has been purchased jointly in her name also. even though you may have contributed the entire money, her share becomes a part of her "istridhan" which you are liable to return whenever she demands - before or at the time of divorce;

Divorce - the facts given by you are not sufficient to constitute any of the grounds for divorce available under the Hindu Marriage Act.

Differences of opinion over small matters is not the same thing as 'conjugal bliss'. you are required to respect her view point and try to live life with harmony and understanding. quarrels over petty things are a matter of routine. You need to understand her habits and make adjustments by making suitable changes in your behaviour and mind-set. Divorce is not a solution of petty quarrels. It seems you suffer from a large male ego and expect everything to happen your way which is not pratically possible with many girls.

She is entitled to lodge a criminal complaint against you for harrassment and domestic violence under Section 498-A of IPC and also under the newly enacted Domestic Violence Act.

You need to understand her rights in the matrimonial home and take your decisions.

For an informed opinion, you may write me details of the quarrels to analyse if any of these events could be considered as "cruelty" so as to constitute a ground for divorce.
