REGARDING THE DIVORCE NOTICE KINDLY NOTE THAT,

1. DIVORCE NOTICE IS SENT UNDER SECTION 13 OF HINDU MARRIAGE ACT. YOU HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED THE SAME. NEXT STAGE WILL BE ,YOU WILL GET A NOTICE FROM THE COURT REGARDING FILING OF DIVORCE PETITION IN COURT UNDER SECTION 13 OF HINDU MARRIAGE ACT. YOU HAVE TO ATTEND THE COURT ON THE DATE SPECIFIED IN THE SAID NOTICE.

2.YOU MAY FILE YOUR SAY, MEANS YOUR REPLY ,AND DENY ALL ALLIGATIONS MADE BY YOUR HUSBAND AGAINST YOU.

OR  IN CASE YOU DO NOT WISH TO GIVE DIVORCE TO YOUR HUSBAND THEN  YOU JUST DELAY THE SAID COURT MATTER .AND YOU MAY JUST FILE AN APPLICATION IN THE COURT AND REQUEST FOR NEXT DATE TO FILE YOUR REPLY IN THE COURT.

3 YOU CAN SEND A NOTICE TO YOUR HUSBAND UNDER SECTION 9  OF HINDU MARRIAGE ACT FOR RESTITUTION OF CONJUGAL RIGHTS. HE WILL REPLY TO YOUR NOTICE OR THE MATTER MAY GET COMPROMISED ALSO.

4. BUT IN CASE YOUR HUSBAND IS ADAMENT AND IS NOT WILLING TO TAKE YOU BACK THEN YOU MAY FILE THE PETITION  IN COURT UNDER SECTION 9 OF HINDU MARRIAGE ACT FOR RESTITUTION OF CONJUGAL RITES.

5.KINDLY NOTE THAT AT PRESENT MOST OF THE INDIAN ACTS ARE IN FAVOUR OF MARRIED WOMEN. IN CASE YOU WISH TO COMPROMISE THE MATTER AND JOIN YOUR HUSBAND THEN BE PATIENT AND DO NOT TAKE ANY HARSH STEPT BY FILING COMPLAINT AT POLICE STATION AGAINST YOUR HUSBAND AND IN LAWS. IT WILL SPOIL THE MATTER BEYOND COMPROMISE.

6.HENCE I ADVISE TRY TO COMPROMISE THE MATTER FIRST.BUT KINDLY DO NOT USE ANY FORCE OR THREATS AND DO NOT VISIT THE PLACE OF YOUR HUSBAND DIRECTLY BUT ORGANISE THE MEETING AT SOME OTHER PLACE.THERE ARE CHANCES THAT SOME FALSE COMPLAINTS MAY BE FILED AGAINST YOU AND YOUR RELATIVES OF GIVING THREATS.

i agree with Prabhakar.

better is to contest the case and falsify his claims there in that case itself....if the divorce decree is not granted then obviously the marriage is not dissolved.

dont pursue too much of the legal remedies.

we dont know what ground he has taken or going to take for divorce petition....in case the litigation pursues then u can take help here.

Respected Sirs,

Thanks for your reply.I am really grateful to you all.

Previous to your reply I was feeling helpless and lonely.I don't whom to discuss this issue because of society fear.

He has filed the case under 13(1)(i-a).

Please advise the further course of actions.

Thanks & Regards

Ramani

Thanks to Bhagwan Ramana Mahrishi for this wonderful forum.

Do I need to hire a lawyer for filing the reply

Thank & Regards

Ramani

Mr Nandkumar has rightly advised except for 498A. This is the way lawyers misuse provisions of 498A. The woman who has asked for advice has not once mentioned she has been harassed for dowry. Just to prevent the divorce from going thru, esteemed lawyers are mentionaing 498A and dowry. What a mockery of justice :(

Yes Please contact a local lawyer with all ur papers n facts and contest the case and pay heed to the advice given to u by the learned friends

Hi, First U have mentioned that ur husband has sent you a divorce notice, then 3 days after U have mentioned that ur husband has filed case u/s - 13(1)(ia) - ( which is on the grounds of cruelty ) Secondly U also mention that U are at ur parents house since last 1 months. We do not know why U are staying separate .... Without going to the depth it's difficult to give correct advises .... U should be aware of all the facts as to what went wrong in ur marital life ....

I am also at crossroads whether U have just received a notice or a summons from the Court. If U have just received a notice, then U ought to reply to it and deny all allegations put forward by him in the notice. Start negotiations for settlement if U are not bent on divorce ...

If a divorce case u/s - 13(10(ia) has already been filed by ur husband, then U need to contest it and prove him wrong ... Well prior to contesting the divorce case, there will also be a counselling session by the court .... do make everything clear durring that .... try to settle out before the Court Counsellor itself ..... Well if everything do not work U have to contest the divorce case .... Ur husband would have certainly put up many allegations constituting cruelty ... Ur husband will have to prove all that he has alleged against U ... and U have to disprove them ... If U succeed his deivorce petition is bound to be rejected.

Your husband demand divorce on the ground of cruelty may be coz you are living seprate without his willingness. plz engage any local advocate and brief him your facts and then he will guide you properly else you have already been guided by so many experts over here and you can take the benifit of thier advise.

Good luck
