I’ve been separated from my husband for almost a year now, and this is the fourth time we’ve been apart. Sadly, things haven’t improved despite trying to work through our differences with his family. I’ve come to realize that we’re not meant to be together, and I’m ready to move on. I’d like to file for divorce. Could you please advise me on what steps to take?

In India, you can file for divorce under the grounds of cruelty, desertion, or irretrievable breakdown of marriage. Since you’ve been separated for a year, you can file for divorce on the grounds of irretrievable breakdown. Consult a lawyer for legal advice and to initiate the process.
