We've been married for 5yrs. it's a semi arranged marriage. First things were gud. But I came to know mother in law was against this marriage. Later she demanded my gold to be sold. But I informed my father. He said to her that gold was given for our lives security do not sell it. She was irritated at this She would create problems against me. Finally she demanded a house should be built nearby. I had a private job and my husband had a government job. Due to illhealth I came back to my home. I said to my parents I cannot stay there due to several reasons. They were not happy first. Husband would come once or twice a week. But he got into fight with my brother. I couldn't go with him as I had pneumonia. He stopped coming. We would see each other outside. Last year father gave me a flat to live. I shifted and called him. He said he won't come. I pleaded very much. He got fracture and was hospitalized. I went to hospital. He got discharged and went back to his home. I had to take part in my brother's marriage. Then I informed him that I'm coming to his house. But he said no need to come as he has filed for divorce. Now I don't know what to do?

I'm contacting him since he sent the notice. Went to see him two times in his office. He didn't respond. I have confidence that I can save my marriage. But my parents r putting pressure to divorce him. They even said to move out of the flat they gave. I'm jobless now. I'm thinking to go back to his house. I don't know whether they will accept me. I have no support from my parents now. Is it a wise decision to go back
1) your husband , in laws and your own parents want your divorce to be finalised
2) dont go back as your husband is not ready to accept you
3) you can contest the divorce proceedings if you so desire. it would take 5 years to be disposed of
4) your husband will have to prove allegations made in divorce petition to get divorce
If you have confidence to save your marriage then challenge his case properly.
There is nothing to prevent you to enter into his house so long you are still his legally wedded wife.
Dont worry whether they accept you or not, you can make an attempt to enter inside, if he restricts or stops you from entering you can take the help of police to gio inside your matrimonial home.
You may not get support from your parents but you should make sure that create an alternate source of income to survive
