You can file for divorce on grounds of cruelty and desertion under the Hindu Marriage Act. You can also seek a restraining order against him to ensure your safety and that of your daughter. It is advisable to consult a lawyer to discuss your specific situation and explore all legal options available to you.

Next Article I’m a Muslim man from Andhra Pradesh, India. My father-in-law gifted me a house through a settlement deed about 18 months ago, as I helped them financially during a difficult time. The house is located at my in-laws’ place. Unfortunately, things haven’t worked out with my wife and we’re going through a divorce. The Qazi has already issued two notices and is set to finalize the divorce in a few weeks. We don’t have children. My in-laws are now demanding the house back, claiming it was a gift according to the legal documents. I need legal advice on these matters: 1. If I divorce my wife, can my in-laws legally claim the house or file a case for it? 2. Is it advisable to sell the property now, considering the divorce process and the impending finalization? 3. If I sell the property now, what legal complications might arise if my in-laws file a case for it? I’m looking to schedule a phone consultation to discuss these questions in detail and determine the best course of action for me.
