I got married in December 2009. Right from the start, my in-laws put immense pressure on me for dowry. When I couldn’t fulfill their demands, they began to taunt and isolate me. I have a 4-year-old son, and I want to seek divorce and maintenance. They often provoke me, then record my voice and video, claiming it’s for their safety. I am a Hindu and need legal guidance.

You have grounds for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act due to cruelty and harassment. You can seek maintenance for yourself and your child based on your husband’s income and your needs. The recordings made by your in-laws without your consent are illegal and can be used as evidence of their harassment.
