Under Indian law, your niece can file for divorce in West Bengal based on grounds like cruelty, desertion, or adultery. She can approach a family court and file a petition, providing evidence to support her claims. She should also consider seeking legal counsel and support from women’s rights organizations to navigate the legal process.
