My arranged marriage, held in June, quickly turned difficult. Living with my in-laws, I faced constant conflicts, culminating in an incident where my husband physically assaulted me at the behest of his parents in November. I pleaded with him to move us to a separate home, as his family’s interference was tearing us apart. He initially agreed, promising a solution within three months. However, after that day, I couldn’t reach him, despite my attempts to contact his family. Desperate, I turned to a family counseling center, only to be confronted with his demand for a divorce. He claimed to have already filed legal proceedings, alleging his parents were not involved.

Based on your situation, you have grounds to file a domestic violence case against your husband and his family under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. You can also seek a restraining order and protection from further harm. Additionally, you have the right to contest any divorce proceedings initiated by your husband, challenging his claim of his parents’ non-involvement.
