Hello,

You should file for divorce in a family court. There are ample grounds for you to obtain a divorce from your husband. File also a complaint of domestic violence in the police station.

You should also explain to the court that you want to start a new life and therefore the process may be expedited.

Regards

You will get divorce but for that you need to do many things so as to force him to take divorce. Again file a complaint in the concerned police station under 498a, 377. Then file a case for domestic violence in the concerned court of Mahila magistrate, then file a case for divorce too in the concerned family Court. You need to pressurise your husband with the rights available with you as a wife. You’ll be filing a income and expenditure affidavit along with the DV and divorce case, park your income properly so as to leave nill savings and you are curtailing things too to meet the day to day requirements of you and your family.

Firslty, Mam, I must appreciate the courage that you have showed to save your family.

Secondly, let the others talk rubbish as it’s your life so finally you have to decide as to what future you want to give to your children.

Thirdly, please file a divorce case on the ground of cruelity both mental as well as physical, and get the rid of the same.

Dear Client,

Long unemployment, Lazy, physical/metal/verbal abuse, not maintaining family, so many valid ground for granting divorce.

Police wale are slackers, and avoid registering FIR by excuses,

Yes it is possible for you to obtain a Divorce. Even if he is not willing to give you Divorce, you can file a contested matter in the Court for seeking Divorce and other reliefs. You can even seek the relief of Injunction to restrain him from harassing you and/or spoiling your life in the future. But before you take any such drastic step, i would advise you to do some groundwork. Next time he abuses you, hits you, go the Police Station and insist on lodging an NC.

The continuous unemployment and sitting idle at home and giving all types of mental and physical tortures for years together is a strong ground for divorce on the grounds of creulty.

You can very well file a contested divorce on the sid grounds and also lodge criminal complaint yunder dowry harassment offence so that he feels pressure and will come down for an agreement and mutual consent divorce.

You can file a maintenance case seeking maintenance for your children.

You can file a domestic violence case also against him seeking protection, maintenance and compensation for all his violent activities against you.

I have come across many cases like this. I feel really bad when I read such incidents. 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. 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. 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. Marriage doesn't guarantee that you will be together forever. It's only paper. It takes trust, respect, faith, understanding and friendship 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.

You have a right to live your life with peace and with happiness. Your husband has no right to torture you mentally and physically. Mental and physical torture can break you and damage you forever. Moreover as you know that mental abuse is much more painful than physical abuse because you are consumed by your own thoughts.

As there is bitterness in your relationship so divorce is the only solution. Legal options are always available for you. If you want you can file a police complaint against him in nearest police station in Kerala.

You have a right to take divorce from him if you are not happy with the relationship. You can file a divorce petition in the ground of mental and physical cruelty. You can claim child custody also.
