My husband and I have been married for seven years, but I’m feeling lost and unhappy. I can’t see myself staying with him anymore. My family is against a separation, and I’m struggling with the emotional and financial burden of this situation. What are my options?

In India, you have the legal right to seek a separation or divorce based on grounds like cruelty, desertion, or irretrievable breakdown of marriage. Consult a lawyer to understand the legal process and options available, considering your specific circumstances. Your family’s opinions, while important, should not be the deciding factor in your decision.
