Moot court problem

Mr. Ramesh, a Hindu by religion married Miss. Ranjana on 16th March, 2012 as per Hindu
rituals. Thereafter they resided in the matrimonial home with the parents of Mr. Ramesh. Mr.
Ramesh’s mother was an orthodox female and had high belief in mythology and in Hindu God.
She had firm belief that to attain Moksha, a man needs a son, therefore she always insisted on
Ranjana to conceive and give the privilege to them of being grandparents to a grandson. Miss.
Ranjana delivered a baby girl on 25th September, 2014 and thereafter differences arose between
them. Ramesh ’s mother continuously passed insulting remarks upon Ranjana and her baby
girl. She often remarked that if Ranjana does not give their family a boy, she will ask Ramesh
to marry another girl. Several times Ramesh fought with his own mother, telling her that he is
satisfied with his wife and has no complaints from her. Ranjana started persuading Ramesh to
leave the house of his parents and move to a new house to which Ramesh never agreed. He
was adamant that he wants to stay with his family. Finally on 15th December, 2015 Ranjana,
frustrated with the constant bickering and inability of her husband to change residence, decided
to leave the matrimonial house with her daughter and return to her parent’s house. He never
even visits his daughter because Ranjana was never available. Finally, on 2nd August2016,
Ramesh frustrated with Ranjana, filed for divorce u/s 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act alleging
desertion by his wife. The summons was issued to Ranjana at the address shown but the same
were returned by some Ms. Usha marked as ‘refused to accept’. The family court considering
it as good service proceeded with the matter. The petition was heard ex parte and on the basis
of evidence adduced by Ramesh, the family court granted divorce to the husband on 13th June,
2017. The copy of the order was sent by Ramesh to Ranjana on the address provided. On 14th
December 2017 Ramesh married Miss Priyanka, a Hindu by religion. Priyanka conceived
Ramesh’s child and was due for delivery on 5th September 2018. Meanwhile, Mrs. Ranjana
filed an application on 3rd April 2018 before the High Court, for condonation of delay for filing
appeal against the decree of Family Court granting ex parte decree to Ramesh stating that she
was unaware of the proceedings as the summons were served on the address on which she was
not residing. She also stated that her parents moved to a new house and accordingly, she also
went to the new house. Furthermore, she never had the intention to desert Ramesh but only
wanted to teach his mother a lesson. She argued that she was frustrated with the constant
remarks by Ramesh ’s mother and hence decided to leave the matrimonial house but never
desired to sever the matrimonial bond. Decide.

Vakalatnama to new lawyer without revoking the first one.

Is it permissible to provide a Vakalatnama to a new lawyer without withdrawing the one given to the existing lawyer? If I choose to do so, can the existing advocate object in court? Alternatively, is it possible to proceed with the permission of the existing lawyer?

Re: 2nd marriage done by a woman without judicial separation

Sirs,

One of my client is a married lady who has filed 498a case on her husband in Police station. After getting anticipatory bail by her husband and family members in court the case is at trial stage. She did 2nd marriage during covid lockdown period and she completed all the formalities of marriage during lock down period and after marriage she delivered baby. Her Husband came to know about her 2nd marriage and got details of her marriage through RTI which includes her marriage application filed by her father, wedding card, permission for marriage, list of family members who attended the marriage ceremony.

Now her husband is planning to file for 494 bigamy case in court against her and her husband. My query is whether she will get scot free from bigamy case? because normally I see that courts don't punish women who has child and is living in bigamous relationship with her 2nd husband as Indian laws are more inclined towards females.

I advised her to withdraw 498a case from the court and do settlement with her 1st husband.

Kindly advise

Disputed marraige

Hi,

I connected with my wife via online matrimony 3 years back.
Both felt right to proceed and decided to get married. Ours is 2 sates scenario.
This happened when I was working in Bangalore.

Later on when I found my mother got macular degeneration issue in eyes which impairs her vision and makes dependent on other for basic tasks too(reading, writing, seeing things). So I quit my job in Bangalore and changed to WFH job.

My wife too agreed as she wasn't employed that time. Later she got job and it was office job but I mailed on her behalf requesting special permission for WFH stating my mother's health condition and it happened.

Everything was going fine but lately, my wife got some pseudo feminism stating she is working so she won't help in household chores. We have maids at home and only cooking remains as household duty. She doesn't help in cooking too. I said alright and I was joining in all household chores.

Now she is demanding to stay separately from my parents which I don't feel like to. After so many fights I finally gave in and decided to move nearby somewhere to my parents home so that I can look after them too.

Coming to discuss about living separately, my wife asks me to give hand in household chores to which I agreed. But she expects me to contribute more financially, do more household chores and managing home too. I should do cooking, help her in office related mails and tasks, take her out on trips too. I feel like I've got a permanent guest to whom I always keep serving.
I would not have mind if I was staying with my parents and helping them too.

After all these, I spoke to her parents and they are also taking her side that she is working so she can't do more work. FInally I thought to end the marriage and asked her that it's not going well then shall we get separate mutually calling off marraige. To which she is saying she'll use the law and won't go for mutual.

What can be done in this case?
Can I get divorce without getting in trouble?
If that has to happen then will I be liable to pay any alimony? We dont have any assets purchased after marriage and she is independent earning well.

Against divorce

I am married for 18 years and after 3 kids now my wife filed a divorce case and threw me out of house. All these years, all properties were kept on her name including vehicles. She only suggested that i manage home and do part time work from home as she is in very good position professionally and earning. Now due to one miscalculated real estate deal i used 50lakhs of her brother's money which i promised can return back by selling my ancestral properties in my village. But all of a sudden she started using abusive language and forced me go out of home. I stepped out of the home as i don't want my kids to see & hear the fighting, considering neighbors etc.. But now she filed a divorce case. Pls advice how to contest and fail her. Today am being stranded on roads with out house, family, kids & career. Iam reaching 50 years.
