I’m a Hindu woman from India, married in 2014 to a man from my caste whose family contacted me after seeing my ad in the newspaper. Soon after, I realized he was unemployed, had bad habits, and started asking for money. I decided to leave and asked for a mutual divorce, but he refused. I lived with him for just two months and haven’t gone back since. What should I do now?

You can file for divorce on grounds of cruelty and desertion. Since you have evidence of his unemployment, bad habits, and financial demands, the court will likely grant you a divorce. You should consult a lawyer immediately to initiate legal proceedings.
