My marriage, a Hindu ceremony, started beautifully. My husband, an army officer, and his family were warm initially. But things took a dark turn after a year. The abuse, both verbal and emotional, towards me and my family became unbearable. I had to leave, seeking refuge with my parents, just before the birth of my second daughter. Now, with no income and two young girls to care for, I’m lost and scared. What path can I take?

Under Indian law, you can seek legal separation and maintenance from your husband, citing domestic violence and cruelty as grounds. You can also seek custody of your daughters and child support. Consult a lawyer to understand your rights and initiate proceedings.
