Adv Archana Madam Please give answer of my quries.

Adv Archana Deshmukh (Practicing Advocate) 14 October 2014

You do not need to apply to the court for divorce. If you have pronounced valid talak with all necessary formalities completed in presence of witness as per the custom then it is a valid divorce. The Dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act is for women who wants to obtain divorce from their husband and there is no provision for divorce by a man in the said Act.

The recordings you have in respect of admission of guilt by your wife, will be useful to you in case your wife files any criminal complaint against you, so keep them safe.

In case of your son, as he is only 3 years old you can seek visitation rights to meet him by filing a petition under the Guardians and wards Act in the court.

You can remarry now also, there is no hurdle to your remarriage as Muslim personal law permits a man to take 4 wives at a time.

You cannot prevent your wife from filing S. 498-A or domestic violence case against you. You will have to fight the cases on merit if such cases are filed. Submit the evidence of divorce before the court, it will be useful to you if she files any case against you. If FIR is filed u/s. 498-A then you can seek anticipatory bail.
