I’ve been married for a year, but my husband hasn’t been physically intimate with me. He initially said it was because he felt pressured into the marriage, but now after a year he wants a divorce. He blames me, says he can’t live with me, and makes excuses. What should I do?

Under Indian law, your husband’s refusal of intimacy for a year, coupled with his blame and desire for divorce, could be grounds for seeking legal recourse. You can consult a lawyer to explore options like filing for divorce based on cruelty or seeking alimony and maintenance.

Previous Article Our builder created two apartment blocks, D1 and D2, with 54 flats and 54 bungalows in a gated community. While there’s a separate entrance for each, the amenities (like the clubhouse, pool, and water well) were meant to be shared. The sewage treatment plant is near D1 and D2, yet the bungalow residents claim the agreement only grants them access to the amenities. This leaves us, the flat owners, unable to use them, and the builder isn’t resolving the issue.
