My husband forced me out of our home. My lawyer asked him about a mutual divorce, and since he was so cruel, I didn’t want anything from him. He agreed (maybe because I didn’t ask for alimony). Now that the divorce is final, can I seek compensation? These men should be held accountable.

While your ex-husband’s cruelty is unfortunate, Indian law does not allow you to seek compensation after a divorce is finalized. You could have raised this issue during the divorce proceedings to seek alimony or compensation for the harm caused.
