My marriage, which began so happily in late 2012, quickly turned sour. My husband started prioritizing his friends and the gym, neglecting me. When I asked for his attention, he snapped, “Do I have to carry you on my head?” Sadly, I stopped asking. Now, he blames my mother for every fight, using hurtful language towards her. He claims she influences me negatively, but the truth is his ego and desire for a bachelor lifestyle are the real issues. I’m now four months pregnant, and the mental torture has escalated. My husband and his mother have made my life unbearable. He even said he doesn’t care if I live or not, or if I deliver this child. I’ve been living with my mother for the past two months, longing to go back but knowing he won’t change. The root of this mess seems to be his affair, which I exposed. I’m deeply distressed and at a loss. Should I file for divorce? I desperately need guidance.

Under Indian law, you can file for divorce based on cruelty and desertion. Your husband’s behavior, including verbal abuse, neglect, and emotional abuse, constitutes cruelty. His indifference towards your pregnancy and well-being strengthens your case. You should consult a lawyer to discuss your options and proceed accordingly.
