Hello, please contact me on my number.

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.
