My wife and I have been married for 8 years and have two children. Sadly, our marriage has been loveless and she only seemed interested in me for financial reasons. I recently found love with another woman and want to start a new life with her. However, my wife refuses to grant me a divorce, claiming that Indian law favors women and will always side with her. She threatens to make my life miserable if I pursue it. I’m currently giving her 30,000 rupees for expenses. What legal steps should I take to get a divorce and move on with my life?

In India, divorce is granted on grounds of cruelty, adultery, desertion, and more. While the law doesn’t favor one gender, you need to prove grounds for divorce. File a divorce petition with evidence supporting your claims. A legal professional can assist you in navigating the legal process and understanding your options.
