My marriage, five years ago, brought joy with the birth of our son, now three, but he was born with a condition that makes life difficult. While working, I lived with my in-laws, who constantly pressured me for money and dowry, even resorting to physical and mental abuse. Despite this, I supported my husband financially, contributing my gold and salary to help him purchase property. However, after registering the land in his name, he turned abusive. I filed a police complaint (498) and he agreed to live separately, but that lasted only four months. He then kidnapped our son and threatened me, forcing me to file another petition. Thankfully, he returned our son, but now he wants a divorce. I don’t want this, and I can’t bear the thought of rejoining him.

Based on your situation, you have strong grounds for seeking legal protection under Indian law. The dowry harassment (Section 498A IPC), domestic violence (Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act), and kidnapping of your child (IPC) provide legal frameworks for you to seek redress. You can seek a restraining order against your husband to prevent further abuse and ensure your safety and your son’s well-being.

My husband’s emotional and physical abuse forced me and my son to leave him. We’ve been separated for 15 months, and he hasn’t provided any financial support. I took out life insurance policies in his name, paying all the premiums myself. Now, I need to transfer these policies to my name and get him to sign the divorce papers, which he’s refusing. He meets our son on weekends but refuses to take any responsibility. He still has all my jewelry. I’m struggling financially, and any help would allow me to better support my son. People are disrespecting me, and he won’t even consider a divorce. I need guidance on transferring the life insurance policies, getting a divorce, and finding educational resources for my son.

My husband took my phone away and wants to bring another woman into our home, even though I don’t agree. We have four children together, and he owns the apartment.
