It is unfortunate that you could not lead a happy married life. There are some incidents that happen in your life and those incidents are so strong that they change your DNA. They say marriages are made in heaven. But so is thunder and lightning. At times, despite our best efforts, life takes a turn for the worst. We may have wanted different things from life, but life’s got its own plan as well. A bad marriage is something which nobody hopes for, but at times, that’s exactly what we are given and forced to face head on. As you know that marriage doesn't guarantee that you will be together forever, it's only paper. It takes trust, respect, faith, friendship and understanding to make it last. Moreover a relationship without trust is like a car without gas, you can stay in it as long as you want but it won't go anywhere.
Marriages are hard. Divorces…even harder. Nobody enters marriage thinking about a divorce in the end. If some are unable to cope with the harsh realities of marriage, the only viable option in front of them is to approach the Court and seek legal separation.
Please understand that according to Supreme Court guidelines there is no automatic arrests in cruelty and dowry-related cases under Section 498A of IPC that has often been misused to harass innocent family members of husbands named in complaints.
If you leave home n city n start living somewhere else then police or her family members can file a complaint against you. But please understand whatever they may file you have a right to get justice and to be defended. So you can certainly defend those charges.
Religion is a very sensitive and personal aspect of individual's life and the constitution of India guarantees the freedom of conscience and religion to people of all denominations. Thus, a person is free to profess any faith or relinquish his faith of birth and convert to another religion. However, in view of the diversity personal laws in our country, upon apostasy the personal law of the convert words. Conversion of a spouse gives to the non-convert spouse, a ground for matrimonial relief. The logic underlying the grant of relief in case of conversion is. However, not merely a legal one, viz., that after conversion, the convert will be governed by different personal law, but also because conversion could mean a radical change in the personality of the convert. The event is often very much akin to a breakdown of the marriage and goes to the root of conjugal life of the spouses.
