I have perused your query. If your husband has filed a divorce petition on the grounds of cruelty, desertion, and mental disorder under Section 13(1)(ia), 13(1)(ib), and 13(1)(iii) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, you have the right to contest the same. Legal Guidance: 1. File Reply/Written Statement: You must file a detailed reply in the Family Court denying all false allegations within the prescribed time. Non-appearance or non-filing can result in an ex-parte decree. 2. Burden of Proof: The burden to prove cruelty, desertion for 2+ years, and mental disorder of such a nature that cohabitation is not possible lies on your husband. Mere allegations are not sufficient. 3. Your Defences: You can contest the petition, file for restitution of conjugal rights u/s 9 HMA if you wish to save the marriage, or claim maintenance u/s 24 HMA and Section 125 CrPC/Section 144 BNSS, 2023 during proceedings. 4. Evidence: Preserve all medical records, messages, call records, and witness details that disprove his claims. Representation & Consultation: I undertake matters in Family Courts and can represent you. My consultation charges are discussed during a personal meeting after reviewing your case papers. Fees for representation depend on the complexity and stage of the case. Kindly share the copy of the petition and notice received for a detailed consultation. You may book an appointment through my office. I assure you of diligent professional assistance.

You have full legal rights to contest the proceedings by filing an appropriate reply along with supporting documents and evidence. After reviewing the case papers and factual background, proper legal guidance and representation can be provided for defending your matter effectively. If required, you may also claim interim maintenance, litigation expenses, child custody reliefs, and other remedies available under law. You are requested to share a copy of the divorce petition, marriage details, and all relevant documents for detailed legal consultation and further course of action.
