Advocate Twishaa Gangar answered
Hello, this is Adv. Twishaa Gangar, practicing in Mumbai, primarily in Family Law and Criminal Law.I understand your concern. Merely because a Domestic Violence case is pending, your family members cannot simply force you to leave the house. Depending on the facts, you may have remedies under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, including residence and protection-related reliefs.Since your case has been pending for almost 2 years without an effective order, I can review your case papers and advise you on the appropriate legal remedy and the next steps.You may share your latest court order/order sheet and briefly explain your present situation.My professional fees are reasonable and can be discussed depending on the nature and requirements of your matter. I believe legal assistance should be accessible and transparent.

Q: Is Reconciliation possible in mutual divorces ? will the court helpme

We had filed for a Mutual Divorce 7 months back, 1st session on counselling was done by the court, now we have to go for final hearing in Sept, i want to reconcile, as i need to make this marriage work. Is that possible ? what if my husband denies

Advocate Twishaa Gangar answered
Yes, reconciliation is legally possible at this stage. Since your final hearing/second motion is still pending and the divorce decree has not yet been passed, you can inform the Family Court that you have reconsidered your decision and wish to continue the marriage.However, reconciliation requires both spouses to agree to continue the marriage. If your husband also agrees, you can jointly request the Court to close/withdraw the mutual consent divorce proceedings.If your husband does not agree and insists on divorce, you cannot force him to reconcile. However, equally, he cannot obtain a decree of divorce by mutual consent without your continuing consent. The Supreme Court has consistently held that mutual consent must subsist until the divorce decree is passed. Therefore, before the September hearing, you should communicate your intention clearly and, if possible, try counselling/mediation to see whether both of you can work on the marriage

Q: Newly Wed.. Wants To File Divorce

I have completed 2 months of my marriage and wants to get divorce.. family abuse, no support from husband.. financially helpless.. no support for further education..

Advocate Twishaa Gangar answered
Hello, I understand that you are going through a difficult situation. You can certainly seek legal advice regarding separation and divorce.Since your marriage is only two months old, the usual one-year requirement under the Hindu Marriage Act needs to be considered. However, in cases involving exceptional hardship or serious cruelty, the law provides a possibility of seeking the Court’s permission to proceed even before completion of one year.I would first need to understand the nature of the abuse, your living arrangements, the conduct of your husband and his family, and the specific incidents that have taken place. Based on these facts, I can advise you regarding the appropriate legal remedy, including whether an early divorce proceeding can be considered.You may schedule a consultation with me, during which we can discuss your situation confidentially and I can guide you on the available legal options.
