I’m financially dependent and worried about my daughter’s future. She doesn’t want to live with her father either. I have no one else but my daughter. Please advise on how to proceed with a divorce and ensure our well-being.

You can file for divorce under the grounds of cruelty and seek maintenance for yourself and your daughter. Since you do not have a marriage certificate, the court may consider your marriage valid based on evidence like the marriage form and witnesses. Consult a lawyer to guide you through the process and ensure your rights are protected.
