My husband and I have been married for almost two years, but he rarely comes home. He wants me to stay at my parents’ place, and won’t even let me visit his parents. He says he needs rest and sleeps at his parents’ house. A few months ago, he mentioned a mutual divorce, but I don’t want to separate. He claims he wants peace and will seek a judicial separation until the divorce. I want to stay with him. Can you please guide me?

Your husband’s actions and desire for a separation raise concerns. Under Indian law, you have the right to live with your husband. His refusal to allow you to visit his parents or stay at his home could be considered cruelty and grounds for seeking a legal remedy. Consult a lawyer to understand your rights and options, including seeking a stay order to prevent your husband from proceeding with a judicial separation without your consent.
