A DIVORCE CASE UNDER THE COMPLICATED AND CONFUSING HINDU MARRIAGE ACT IN INDIA !!!

"DIVORCE LAWYER: 'You left your 

husband's house and living at 

your parents house since 6 months. 

Now, when my client has appealed for 

a mutual divorce case due to 6 months 

of separation, neither you are agreeing 

for a mutual divorce nor you are going 

back to your husband's house. If you 

don't want to live anymore with your 

husband, then, just release him from 

this unsuccessful married life.'  

WOMAN: 'As per Hindu marriage Act, we, 

the women are powerful. We can live at 

our  parents house and can deny divorce to 

our respective husband. Let that Hindu 

man suffer the whole life or get converted 

to Muslim or Christian religion to 

get permission to have a 2nd wife.' 

MAN: 'Nowadays, many Hindu women 

are misusing the loopholes in the 

Hindu Marriage Act. In developed nations, 

after 6 months of separation, if either man 

or woman applies for a divorce, the divorce 

is granted. The Supreme Court must 

have thought of amending the Hindu 

Marriage Act, instead of thinking too 

much about gays and lesbians.'

DIVORCE LAWYER: 'Madam, what 

problems were you facing with my client?' 

WOMAN: 'I felt as if I am his slave. Like 

my elder sister, I wanted 2 years relaxation 

after my marriage. But, I conceived a baby 

as he forced me, as if, I am 

performing surrogacy. Whenever, I 

demanded any costly Saree worth 7000 

bucks, he reduced  the budget to 4000. 

My elder sister's husband never say 'No' 

to my elder sister in  this regard. I have to 

do all the household works, as if, I am a 

maid servant. I dislike all my in-laws as 

they tell me to do some household 

works. I want freedom. I want an 

apartment of my own, where, there 

will be no in-laws. My elder sister is 

staying in a separate apartment with 

her hubby and kids only. 

'DIVORCE LAWYER : 'Oh ! Madam ! You 

are still so immature and having such a 

cheap mentality. Maybe, your parents 

have given you too much care to 

spoil you totally. In Bengali, we say, 

'Ador er Baandor'. Your mother is 

also a housewife. Did your father bought 

your mother from a slave market ? Do you 

feel yourself as a product of surrogacy ? 

Do you think that your mother 

is a maid servant ?'

WOMAN: 'Just, mind your tongue !'

DIVORCE LAWYER : 'Yes, madam ! 

when it comes to your family, then 

you are feeling bad. Then, imagine, how 

bad my client felt, when you said 

all these things to my client. Many a 

times, you have also said rude words 

to my client, because, he has a hobby 

of writing some articles or poems. You 

are yet immature enough to understand 

the institution of marriage. You believe 

in 'Show Off' strategy, after all, it is the 

era of selfie, groupfie publicity in the 

social media. Your elder sister got 

married, when she was 23 years, 

so she was given 2 years relaxation. 

You got married at 29 years and you 

wanted 2 years relaxation. Don't you 

know that concieving the first baby after 

30 years of age can be a bit 

complicated one. You have got 

married to someone to have a happy, 

sweet family. You have not married to 

someone to compete with your 

elder sister and her husband. 

Married life is about love, respect 

and adjustments, not about competitions 

with anyone. Another case of suspicion is 

there with you. Many a times, when 

any call came to your mobile phone, you 

went to your room and shut the door to 

take that call. Frankly speaking, these 

days, in this nuclear family era, we 

find many divorce cases, only, because, 

the housewife gets involved in 

extra-marital affairs with someone, 

when her husband went out to office. 

Whatever the secret issue is, just 

come out clean, don't try to become 

another 'Manua' in this regard. Do you 

know, why the the charge of Finance 

Ministry is not given to any female 

politician ? I also scold my wife when 

she does unnecessary shopping. 

Is my wife staying at her parents house ? 

You such immature woman can never 

become a good wife. You also forced 

my client many a times to buy a 

3 BHK flat nearer to either your 

parents house or elder sister's house, 

where you can stay separately without 

your in-laws. Why my client will 

leave his parents for your silly 

demands only ? Just release my 

client from your married life and you 

live your life on your own way. If you 

feel, you are a surrogate mother, 

then you handover your child to my 

client and move on as a single woman 

again to find a new victim.'

WOMAN: 'No, I will keep this baby with 

me and demand for 

compensation in the Court.'

DIVORCE LAWYER : 'Oh! Now, you 

are not feeling as if you have been forced 

to do surrogacy by my client. You can 

demand for a compensation as my 

client has filed for a divorce, but, if 

you get married to someone, or get a 

job, then, my client can stop 

giving you compensation. Ok, now, don't 

waste everyone's valuable time. 

Sign the divorce papers to start 

a new life again.'" - Arindam Sain
