Reading: I’m deeply unhappy in my marriage and considering divorce. We had a court marriage in December 2014, and I’m now 33.

Under Indian law, you can file for divorce on grounds of cruelty, which includes physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. You can approach a family court with a petition for divorce, citing your husband’s abusive behavior and its impact on your life. The court will hear both sides and determine whether to grant the divorce.
