My wife and I were forced into marriage. Since then, she’s made my life miserable, constantly harassing me at work, on the street, and even making false accusations against me. We were together for less than two months before she started fighting with my mother and leaving home. This has been going on for six years now. We have a three-and-a-half-year-old daughter, but I don’t want to be with her anymore. I want a divorce, but she keeps threatening to file a dowry case against me. What should I do?

You can file for divorce under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, citing cruelty and irretrievable breakdown of marriage. Seek legal counsel to navigate the divorce proceedings and address the dowry threat. A lawyer can advise on protecting your rights and addressing the false allegations.
