We’ve been married for over a year, and my husband just doesn’t seem interested in intimacy. We’ve only been intimate a handful of times in that period, and never fully. We thought it might be a medical issue, but doctors have ruled that out. It feels like there’s a mental barrier, and it’s causing a lot of tension. I’m considering a divorce, but I’m worried about the financial implications. Would I be entitled to alimony in this situation?

Under Indian law, alimony is granted based on several factors, including the duration of the marriage, the spouse’s financial needs, and the reason for the divorce. While a lack of intimacy alone may not be sufficient grounds for alimony, it could be considered a factor in establishing a “cruelty” ground for divorce, potentially making you eligible for alimony. It’s best to consult with a lawyer for personalized advice on your specific situation.
