A.Hello mam,
1. You can file a divorce on the ground of sec13(I) of hindi marriage Act. Sec 13 (i) talks about Cruelty which is a ground for dissolution of marriage may be defined as wilful and unjustifiable conduct of such character as to cause danger to life, limb or health, bodily or mental, or as to give rise to a reasonable apprehension of such a danger.
2.Causing cruelty to the deceased victim for her black complexion even after her marriage by the in-laws would definitely attract Section 498A/34 I.P.C. against the in-laws, including the accused husband", said the Court while sustaining the conviction of a man for the murder of his wife.
3 Under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973
So, a woman who has been divorced by her husband can still claim maintenance from her husband if she is not remarried.
Thank you
