Hello All, I have got married 8 months back. I came to know abt my wifes affairs 2 months back. Since then my wife left my house and living with her parents. I want to apply for divorce. But she does not want duvorce. And if i go for divorce through qazi or masjid, they will ask for very high alimony which i cannot afford. My wifes family is very strong both financially as well as rowdism. I wanted to go through court. Also my wife is threatening to file dowry and domestic violence case against me and my family. Can you please suggest, how to proceed in my case.

As a Muslim man you cannot go for divorce from the Family Court you have to go through Qazi only according to Shariat law and follow the procedure of divorce as prescribed by the Supreme Court of India, giving notice etc.
Your wife can definitely file divorce case against you under the Dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act,1939 in the Family Court.

By now after response in many threads initiated by you, you must have been satisfied.
If you are confident that you can handle the matter on your own; go ahead.
Or approach a very able LOCAL counsel.
