I’m 32, married for 5 years, and have a 4-year-old child. My husband and mother-in-law have been mentally and physically abusive. I left their house 2 years ago. My husband filed a complaint claiming I took money and jewelry, but the truth is my own belongings, clothes, and jewelry are still in his house, locked in a cupboard, and I have the keys. During a hearing at the women’s cell, he said he wants to reconcile, but I don’t want to be with him anymore. Should I file for divorce in writing? Could an FIR be filed against me in this situation?

Yes, you can file for divorce based on the grounds of cruelty and desertion. Your husband’s claim of stolen money and jewelry is baseless, and an FIR against you seems unlikely as you have evidence of your belongings being in his house. It’s advisable to consult a lawyer for guidance on filing a divorce petition and to address your husband’s allegations.
