Reading: My marriage is just six months old, and my wife and I are both Muslims. Since the wedding, she has been constantly emotionally abusing me, even saying she only married me for my high salary. This has driven me to the brink, affecting my mental health. I’ve tried to mutually dissolve the marriage, but she refuses. She insists on remaining legally married to me, even after my death, to secure a pension. I feel trapped and desperate. Is there any way to legally end this marriage and protect myself from further harm? Can I use Section 4b (i) & (ii) of the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act to end this marriage? I’m in a terrifying situation and desperately need help.

Under Indian Muslim law, you can seek a divorce based on “Talaq” (divorce pronounced by the husband) or “Khula” (divorce initiated by the wife). Section 4b(i) and (ii) of the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act relates to “Talaq,” but the legal grounds for divorce are complex and require legal counsel. You should consult a lawyer specializing in Muslim Family Law to understand your options and proceed with appropriate legal action to protect yourself.
