        Using a throwaway account because of obvious reasons.

        Me and my wife of 2.5 years have been separated for a year and I found out she has had multiple affairs (6 that I know of and have whatsapp chats confirmation) since we separated. She also had an abortion 6 months into our separation. Her family is unaware of her doings since she was staying in a rented home.

        I know the date and place where she did the procedure done and tried talking to the Doctor to provide her reports but the doctor denied stating she can’t provide the reports for abortion. I approached her through her friend who signed as a guardian with her for the procedure.

        I don’t want to take the legal route yet because I want to negotiate the divorce settlement outside of court using these reports as an evidence of infidelity. I really need these reports since this will be a documented evidence which will hold in the court if push comes to shove. We haven’t filed any cases against each other yet.

        What can be my course of action to get the reports without my wife getting to know about it? Also, kindly enlighten me with the laws of abortion for both single and married women if she needs any consent of her husband or if he needs to be informed etc.

        Kindly help.

          Why don’t you get a court order directly. Consult a real lawyer for advice.

              Take your pick imaginary law degree to WhatsApp University and stop peddling your ignorant advice as if you know something about law in general and family law or on abortion.

                  Interesting to know that someone who is close to being a senior citizen in India does not have a gas connection from Indane and has to buy private gas.
                  Why would that be the case? Are you illegally staying in India with no documents required to get a gas connection?

                    “As they should be”. She got pregnant from a random guy at her work and I can’t do anything about it.

                        Op. I think the fact that she was cheating on you is more than enough as a ground for divorce.

                            It’s not about finding a ground for divorce, it’s about getting duped by her and her family into getting married. It feels like she’s working as a pros*titute because I have a chat which confirms ahe once got paid for her services. She married me for alimony and if there’s no settlement outside of the court, I’m planning to file cases of dupung me into marriage, section 420 or something along with prostitution etc.

                              You can do a lot. Legally, you can seek anything between a reconciliation to a divorce. However you do not have any legal rights in the abortion. Those decisions belong only to the pregnant woman. That is the law. That is how it should be.

                            I’m not from India and found it insane when I read your message so I googled and checked with AI, and you’re wrong. As per the Supreme Court of India, all women, including those who are not married, can get an abortion for up to 24 weeks. Thankfully it appears India doesn’t allow women to make a choice for their body!

                                It’s a recent judgement of 2022, before that it was not legal to do so.

                                    Relatively recent maybe but still that’s the current legal advice. It’s good to know they revised to make more sense as forcing a woman to go through with a pregnancy against her own choice is horrific beyond comprehension.

                                        Lmao nothing like that, the rules were always abortion is legal upto 24 weeks, no questions asked if you’re not a minor. After 24 weeks is when you need the court’s permission to do so.Β

                                                MTP act was amended in 2021.

                                                Upto 20 weeks ALL women irrespective of marital status are allowed abortion. Any woman above 18 years needs no additional consent for it.

                                                The doctor cannot give you reports because it’s illegal to do so. There’s a moron here who’s asking you to file false infanticide cases. For a fetus to be an infant it has to be born first. Don’t listen to him.

                                          >Btw it’s illegal to do abortion of unmarried women

                                          This is wrong as of 2022. The SC has already held that all women are entitled to abortion access. Moreover it isn’t clear to me on what basis OP would be entitled to his wife’s medical records. There are HC rulings that, AFAIK, have not been overturned, which prohibit husbands from drawing on private medical records to try and sway a divorce on questions such as infidelity.

                                              But OP can file a case of female infanticide against the doctor. Nothing is preventing that.

                                              Thanks yes it’s a recent development. I had info from my health policy of 2010

                                                  That isn’t how this works. Nothing in OPs post indicates that an illegal gender determination was made let alone that the doctor who performed the abortion did it. OP has no basis to know this information. Filing false FIRs to try and influence a divorce is a good way to get yourself locked up *and* lose your case.

                                                      He knows an abortion occurred. Why is it false if he suspects his unborn girl child was aborted?

                                                      He can file a case on the basis of his suspicion.

                                                          No it doesn’t. You are asking OP to file a knowingly false case. This is not in OPs legal interest and you need to stop peddling misinformation. I hope the moderators will take action here.

                                                            According to India’s Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act, a woman in India does NOT need her husband’s consent to get an abortion. Both married and unmarried women are legally entitled to get an abortion up to 24 weeks into the pregnancy due to multiple reasons including if contraception failed. Only the consent of the pregnant woman is required for a termination of pregnancy – adult women in India do not require any other person’s consent regardless of their marital status.

You can get out without paying anything . That is a win . She will ruin her own life by the way she is playing around . Take care of your own interests and leave her to deal with the consequences.

                                                                                                India has luckily strong abortion laws even compared to progressive countries. MTP can be done by adult single and married women.

                                                                                                Your wife’s infidelity can be proven with whatever chat proof you have (provided it doesn’t look like it is doctored).

                                                                                                No need to get her abortion report. Even if you got the report, it doesn’t show whom she had sex with right? And those reports would not be concrete proof anyway because a lot of couples end up having sex while separated and you cannot prove that you didn’t have sex with her.

                                                                                                I recommend you go the normal route and get a divorce on mutual grounds or claim infidelity. Leave this abortion report idea and hire a competent lawyer.

As she’s not living with you and the two of you are separated, she can be with whoever she wants without needing your consent. Each person is entitled to their own decisions, especially when it comes to personal matters like relationships or health.

                                                                                                          this does not count as cheating or infidelity as you said you both are separated.

                                                                                                          and moreover abortion is a women’s right, she can get it without the consent of her husband.
