Section 9 of the Indian Divorce Act pertains to cruelty as a ground for divorce. It allows a spouse to seek divorce if their partner has subjected them to physical, mental, or emotional abuse, making it impossible to continue the marriage.

I told him I might consider returning if we remain separated because his father’s constant harassment even led me to attempt suicide. He also has a written agreement from my parents stating they’ll be responsible for any harm that befalls me, excluding him and his family. How can I navigate this situation legally?

I’m from Rajasthan and have been working in Dubai as a business consultant for the past 5 years. My husband and I got married in a temple in Mount Abu in February 2016, but we didn’t tell our families. We only have pictures of our wedding, taken outside the temple, showing me wearing sindoor and mangalsutra. Now, my husband is refusing to acknowledge our marriage. He grew up in the UAE, but is currently living in a village in Gujarat with his grandparents. His family is struggling financially in the UAE and doesn’t own any property in India. I informed my family about the marriage in 2016, and recently told his family, but they won’t accept me. I’m heartbroken and want to save our relationship. What can I do?
