My husband and I married six years ago, defying our families’ wishes. My in-laws eventually accepted me, but their constant emotional abuse has become unbearable.

While your marriage was against your families’ wishes, this doesn’t automatically grant you grounds for divorce under Indian law. However, constant emotional abuse from your in-laws can potentially be considered cruelty, which is a valid legal ground for divorce. You should consult with a lawyer to assess your specific situation and explore legal options available to you.
