We got married six years ago against our families’ wishes. Since then, I’ve been dealing with his drinking problem and occasional violence. Six months ago, he got drunk and tried to hit me again, so I called the police. They warned him, but I didn’t file a report. Then, a month later, he got drunk and crashed the car I bought. Two months ago, we had a fight and he left without telling me where he was going. He came back after two months, but the next day, he found some pictures of me on my laptop and got angry, demanding a divorce. He hasn’t contributed much financially. I bought the house, he only paid for the brokerage and furniture. Now, he claims he wants a share of the house. He doesn’t give me any money, and most of his income goes towards drinking. I want to know if I can file for divorce and if he can use those pictures to fight it. I don’t want to stay with him anymore.

Yes, you can file for divorce on grounds of cruelty and irretrievable breakdown of marriage. The pictures you mentioned will not be a valid ground for divorce under Indian law. You can seek financial support and claim your rightful share of the house, as you were the primary contributor.
