Mental torture and felt me unwanted Mental torture and felt me unwanted

2 years ago

Hi,
I was married 3 years ago, it was a love marriage. Our families didn't liked each other much from the start but they agreed to marriage as thier children were happy. During the engagement, they treated me well as i was thier daughter in law to be, but they were involved in thier own relatives and didn't gave us much importance. Even boy's mother misbehaved with my parents on a small issue. Then i marriage, there was hell lot of drama as we had different rituals and mentality. After marriage, few months passed in peace. Then i identified that is some issue between the families as they ignored phone calls from my parents. Then they told to buy a new house as they were not having any earlier. But we shifted to a new house in delhi where i went super uncomfortable. Then i got to know that they were expecting dowry and wanted each ritual with gifts and money. My husband was too much into his mom and i never felt comfortable there. I felt alone inside. And i was going to disturbed mental state. Then my mom came on one festival with gifts, then his mom said many bad things regarding the marriage and her expectations which we were not able to fulfil. After seeing my mom crying, i was too disturbed. I started being rude, stopped talking to my in laws, i kept myself locked in the room as i heard few bad things abt myself and i was feeling that i am not good for anything. Then i wanted to leave the place as i was feeling depressed there and i even cut my hair, but no one in the family (even my husband ) asked me . Then i wanted a brk and i pleaded them to send me to some other place for few months so that i could recover which they denied. Then my husband was too frustrated with what all was going in the family, and he said me to go where ever i wanted. They were also planning to shift to some other house, so after he bullied me to leave his house asap so that they can also shift.We also filled for mutual divorce. I signed that but i never went on court dates as i was not in the condition to face this situation. I came from there and i was badly depressed. Few months we kept on talking little bit but after 2-3 months he stopped picking my calls and showed absurd behaviour making me feel guilty. He said he wanted a divorce. Now , in this case, i have hurted myself mentally, and we wated approx 22 lac( 7 lac for car which i bought with me ) . Rest approx 15 lacs. Kindly suggest what to do in tis case, Now 2 years have passed and i also dnt want to live with him now.

Now go to mutual divorce and there will be counselling.
counselor will help you.
but dont give easy mutual divorce.
else take bold step and discuss with a lawyer and file Domestic Violence case and FIR for 498A and Dowry prohibition act.

A.Hello,
Its seems that you are victim of domestic violence and cruelty done by your husband and in-laws and there conduct, which is likely to cause grave injury to your life, limb and health. You should file a written complaint to police to registered an FIR, against your husband and in-laws, at the same time file a complaint under the provision of PWDV Act, 2005. Further, you can also claim maintenance under the provision of section 125 of CrPC.
Domestic Violence and Cruelty is ground of divorce and you can file it the same.

Thanks with best regards

A.Hi,
You should immediately seek legal advice and file several lawsuits, including cases involving the Dowry Act, eviction, and emotional abuse, among other things. There are several laws available to you, as Indian laws are designed to protect married women from abuse by their husbands, in-laws, or both. Mental Torture is a legitimate reason for divorce, and Section 498 of the Indian Penal Code protects you.

A.You are entitled to claim back your istridhan, maintenance, alimony, residence etc. Go strategically and file divorce petition on the ground of cruelty and also adultery. The status of mutual divorce us also required to be ascertained. Unless statement of both parties are not recorded in court, the court does not allow divorce. Merely by signing divorce petition does not dissolve marriage.

A.Dear Madam
All Indian laws are in favor of married woman and you can take shelter under them by filing multiple cases and thus teach them a lesson.
