Reading: My marriage in 2012 hasn’t been happy. My wife left home two years ago and we haven’t had children. She’s always suspicious of me and focuses more on my money than our relationship. I’ve tried to make it work, but she’s not fulfilling her responsibilities as a wife or daughter-in-law and constantly demands money for her family. I’ve been generous, even giving her family â‚¹50,000 for her wedding. But she keeps trying to control our finances and accuses me of having another woman when I refuse. I’m kind and want a divorce, but she and her family are against it. What can I do to end this marriage legally?

Under the Indian Divorce Act, you can file for divorce on grounds of cruelty, desertion, or failure to perform marital obligations. Your wife’s unreasonable suspicion, financial demands, and refusal to fulfill marital responsibilities may constitute grounds for divorce. However, legal proceedings can be lengthy, and it’s advisable to consult a lawyer to understand your specific legal options and proceed accordingly.
