Sir,
Whether filing an AFFI-DAVIT is required in a matrimony suit if I plead my own case as a Respondent.

THANK YOU SIR
I will regularly disturb you all to protect my family. Please help me.
I have a few more questions.
1) What is the time limit to submit written statement for matrimonial suit?
2) As the discussion forum has stated that I will have to obtain permission from the court to plead my own case. What is the procedure for the same?

1. It is 30 days from the date of service.
2. Oral submission to the Court.
a). Do you want to spoil your case for saving "some" money which would otherwise prove to be an investment on the fees of a local prudent lawyer?
b). In your own benefit/ protect your interest you must engage a local lawyer, which I strongly recommend in your case since you are a layman and do not know abc regarding law and procedure being followed.

Deciding to appear as a party in person to your case is your own decision, nobody can compel you to engage the services of an advocate to defend your case.
The legal formalities including the technicalities of the case and procedures to be followed in this regard are the grey areas which will pull you down even if you have strong merits in your case and are confident to win your case, therefore in your interest you can take the support of n advocate atleast outside court so that you dont get stranded when you are required to move forward effectively.
