The Mohua Show

DEAREX PODCAST SERIES :
Welcome to DearEX, a new podcast series from the creators of The Mohua Show. In this podcast show, we will speak to individuals who've had the courage to call it quits in their relationships and marriages when it wasn't working any longer.
We will discuss the dreaded D word of divorce, which most of us shy away from.
DearEX will speak to once married, now single folks, people going through heartbreak, counsellors and lawyers to bring you honest, trippy truths of what it took to say no more. We all know to call it quits isn't easy. To D or not to D isn't really an easy question to answer.
Episode 5
In this episode of "DearEX," we sit down with Adv Rachana Shukla, an esteemed lawyer and advocate for women's rights with over three decades of experience in family law and the Domestic Violence Act. Rachana shares insights into the unique challenges individuals face during divorce, highlighting the emotional and financial stress involved. She emphasizes the difficulties in securing alimony and maintenance, especially for non-earning women, and underscores the varying social stigmas faced by women of different age groups.
Rachana also discusses the intersections between domestic violence and divorce cases, explaining how grounds for divorce often overlap with domestic abuse claims. She outlines the robust nature of the Domestic Violence Act and its applicability across all religions, contrasting it with the fragmented personal laws governing divorce.
Highlighting a specific case, Rachana illustrates her approach to resolving disputes amicably and the importance of considering the broader social and familial impacts. She also touches on the potential benefits and challenges of implementing a Uniform Civil Code in India.
Additionally, Rachana provides practical advice for women seeking to file domestic violence complaints and discusses the evolving landscape of family laws. Through her advocacy and legal expertise, Rachana aims to empower women and improve the execution of legal protections available to them.
