Divorce

Hon'ble Experts,
In a divorce HMA suit I know that a provision exists that husband too can claim maintenance from wife if the latter is drawing a much higher and better salary than husband. Please let me know if wife's late father has had properties, can husband claim for a share
in that. Iam not going into the merits of the case. Only to know if such a provision exists, then under which Section.??And any citation where something like this has been considered during adjudication.
Thank you experts.

Sanctity of agreement of mc

In a pending marital dispute, the parties were directed to appear before Mediation Centre (MC) and they reach a settlement agreement agreeing to grant divorce, maintenance. 1) Can the family court simply act on the settlement agreement of MC and pass orders granting divorce and maintenance as agreed by the parties? 2)Is it open to the parties to the marital dispute to request the court to pass the order of divorce 'without prejudice' to allegations levelled in the prcoeedings just because the parties agreed to do so in MC or is it mandatory for the family court to grant divorce on any one of the allegations of Sec.13(1) of H.M.Act.

Couple in India marries in a Gurudwara only, where does it state that marriage is legal for divorce?

Both partners wish to split after being together for a year, what is best advised for the following points because different lawyers in India seem to create their 'own law' through opinion. I just want a black and white answer.

The 'Anand Karaj' took place in India the couple are Indian citizens working in the UK. They visited India for this marriage and left India within 3 weeks. But the marriage was never registered. Gurudwaras do not issue marriage certificates only a letter to say the marriage is solemnised. It does not hold the same legal status as a marriage certificate.

UK law recognises the current relationship status as 'single' and not 'married', what is the interpretation of Indian law of the status? Please provide the applicable legislation and clause that governs this acknowledgement. Without the existence of a marriage certificate the marriage is considered not valid legally, so formal procedures for two single people such as divorce cannot apply.

1. To be recognised that legally marriage does not exist;
2. To understand my legal obligations under the current status;
3. To know the current legislation that applies under a non-registered marriage;

They just want to have a simple split to get on with their lives.

337

i own a school in nalgonda andhra pradesh. we have 4 school buses. saturday evening a case of 337 was registered against my bus driver for hitting an injuring a 12 year old village boy driving a moped. the boys family has put the 337 case on us.the boys leg was slightly injured when he fell off the moped.

my question is : does the school bus involved in the accident need to report to the police station or be siezed by the police?

if my driver is guilty surely he will go through the process of 337.

is my school or my bus liable in this case ?it being a school bus can we request the police to let the bus function while the driver deals with the case ?
