Reading: I’m a 26-year-old woman, working for the central government. A few years ago, I met a man in Mumbai who claimed to be highly educated and employed. After some time, he proposed marriage. My parents disapproved, but he pressured me, threatening to harm himself and me if I refused. He even showed me a suicide note blaming my family. Feeling trapped, I married him under duress. Later, I discovered he was illiterate and jobless. I want to separate from him â€“ what should I do?

You can file for divorce under the grounds of coercion and misrepresentation. You can also file a police complaint for blackmail and harassment. Additionally, you can approach a lawyer to seek legal advice and assistance in navigating the separation process.
