Seven years ago, in 2009, I was married. Just a few months later, in February 2010, I moved overseas while pregnant. Sadly, I suffered a miscarriage shortly after arriving. My in-laws back in India refused to help, and my parents had to send me money three times that year for medical care. My husband, however, refused to contribute and used the money for himself. Even back in India, my in-laws continued to turn a blind eye.
Now, after I secured a Green Card, my husband and in-laws, after all these years, have accused me of being infertile and unable to have more children. They say they want a divorce so they can find another wife who can give them a second child. I feel lost and heartbroken. They’ve destroyed my life. What can I do?

Based on the information provided, you have grounds for divorce in India under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, due to your husband’s desertion, cruelty, and refusal to fulfill marital obligations. You can also seek maintenance and compensation for the emotional and financial distress caused by their actions. Consulting a lawyer specializing in family law will be crucial for determining the best course of action.
