Reading: My husband and I, both Hindus, have been living apart for almost a year now. We’ve tried to work things out but it just doesn’t seem possible. He’s become very controlling, expects me to support him financially, and even seems to have some personality issues. I know he won’t agree to a mutual divorce. Should I try to get one anyway, or should I go to the Mahila Police Thana? What if he tries to retaliate when I tell him I want a divorce? I’m really lost and need some guidance on how to proceed.

You can file for divorce in India on grounds of cruelty, desertion, and other legal reasons. While you can seek help from the Mahila Police Thana, they primarily focus on assisting women in cases of immediate danger. It’s best to consult a lawyer to understand your legal options and navigate the divorce process safely and effectively.
