Reading: My family and I have made it very clear to my wife’s family that we need a divorce. However, they are refusing and have been very disrespectful, accusing me of physical abuse and blaming me for her health problems. They even want to separate me from my family and insist I take on no family responsibilities. A doctor has confirmed my good health and advised counselling. I want to move on with my life, but this situation is unbearable. We’ve been living separately for the past year and a half, and have been married for three years. What legal options do I have to end this marriage?

Under Indian law, you can file for divorce on grounds of irretrievable breakdown of marriage, citing the prolonged separation and lack of reconciliation. You can also seek protection from harassment and abuse through legal recourse, including obtaining a restraining order against your wife’s family. Consulting a lawyer is crucial for navigating the legal process and obtaining proper guidance.
