My husband, from Tamil Nadu, married me in November 2013. He was working in the US and left soon after our wedding, promising to bring me over within two months. He never returned for a year, and when he finally came back for work, he again promised to take me to the US. However, he disappeared again without any communication. I have filed for divorce and a domestic violence case. Can I file a criminal case against him for fraud, claiming he tricked me into marriage with the intention of escaping to the US? I am completely lost and need guidance.

Under Indian law, filing a criminal case for fraud based solely on your husband’s promises to bring you to the US is challenging. To establish fraud, you’d need to prove he had no intention to fulfill his promises at the time of marriage. Consult a lawyer to understand your legal options and gather evidence to support your claim.
