My husband has been intentionally absent from our home since our marriage. He refuses to contribute to our family or our child’s expenses. He actively avoids any interaction that could lead to taking responsibility. What legal action can I take against him and his parents, who have also been unsupportive and mentally distressing our family ever since the wedding?

Under Indian law, you can file for divorce on grounds of desertion and seek maintenance for yourself and your child. You can also file a separate case against your husband and his parents for mental harassment and seek compensation for the distress caused.

Previous Article I was medically discharged from the Indian Air Force in 1976 due to a condition deemed neither service-related nor aggravated by service. I’m a former NDA cadet from the pilots’ branch and received only invalidment gratuity. Sadly, I was not provided with my medical board papers. Prior to my commissioning in 1972, and even afterwards, I had no pre-existing disabilities. My only medical incident was a fainting episode on March 30, 1972, at Air Force Station Kumbhigram, Mizoram, following an air maintenance sortie. Kumbhigram was a declared war zone until March 31, 1972. I’ve been seeking answers from the Air Chief for the past two years, but haven’t received any response. Could you please offer some advice?
