I got married with a guy whom I didn't like by looks, but as my family insisted me to meet him, I thought they want me to marry that guy and I said yes to the marriage. We got married in Feb 2016, and as the guy is living in US, I shifted with him in March end. But while living with him, I found out that I don't like the guy and can't spend my whole life with him. He likes me, but I was not happy with him. I came back to India in September and living with my family. I want divorce from him, but my family is not supporting me. They want me to go back to him. Please help me. How can I get a divorce? I have a doubt that he is impotent, but I am not sure about this. I might be wrong.
