Reading: My husband and I have been married for two years. Due to his traveling job, I stayed with his father in our home for a year. We faced constant misunderstandings, and there were several instances where I was asked to leave the house at inconvenient times. Sadly, I also experienced physical abuse, which I have documented with photos. Now, my husband lives in a different country and I live in another city where I work. We haven’t spoken in six months. I’m financially independent, though my husband earns twice as much as me. What are the grounds for divorce, and am I entitled to alimony?

You have grounds for divorce based on cruelty and desertion. The evidence of physical abuse, along with the constant misunderstandings and forced departure from your home, establishes cruelty. Your husband’s absence for six months without communication constitutes desertion. You may be entitled to alimony, considering his higher income and the fact that you are financially independent, but this will be assessed based on your specific circumstances and the court’s discretion.
