General Q&A

Yes, divorce is possible even in a short marriage. However, the procedure depends on whether it is mutual consent or contested. In a very short marriage, annulment may also be an option if there are valid grounds (fraud, impotence, coercion, etc.). We recommend a detailed consultation to explore the fastest and best legal route.

There are multiple ways: Mutual Consent Divorce (fastest), Contested Divorce on grounds of cruelty, desertion, adultery, etc. We first try for reconciliation through counselling. If not possible, we file the petition in the appropriate Family Court. The process usually takes 6 months to few years depending on mutual consent or contested.

Under Indian law, you can claim Maintenance / Alimony (interim & permanent) based on your lifestyle, husband's income, and your earning capacity. In property matters, you have rights in ancestral property and can claim a fair share in jointly acquired properties. Exact share depends on case facts. We help you get maximum legal entitlement.

No. You cannot marry again until your first marriage is legally dissolved through divorce or annulment. Living separately does not automatically end the marriage. You must obtain a divorce decree from the court first. We can guide you on NRI / Foreign marriage divorce procedures.

Yes, Arya Samaj marriages are legally valid in India if proper procedures (registration, certificate, witnesses, etc.) are followed. It is recognized under the Hindu Marriage Act. However, it is always advisable to get it registered with the registrar for legal proof.

Annulment (Nullity of Marriage) declares the marriage null and void — as if it never existed. Grounds include: impotence, fraud, underage marriage, prohibited relationship, unsound mind, etc. The procedure is similar to divorce but the outcome is different. We help you file a petition for nullity in Family Court.
