• Husband is not willing to live with wife

My daughter got a marriage proposal from boy's family who lived in a village. We said that we are not willing to give my daughter in rural area since she had some aims and dreams to study and get a good job and to settle in a healthy and developed environment. So we conveyed our problem there itself. Boy and his family said that we will not live in village after his marriage thereby taking his wife and mother along with him to a town.only because of this reason we accepted that proposal.But now he is saying that he will not come out of his village. If u want me u have to come and stay here.what to do now.Even she went and stay there for few days. They used to harass her for extra dowry.so she is not willing to go there again. Pls help us by giving a suggestion.

Hello,

File a complaint against them for dowry.

You can not file any case by means of which court can direct them to shift to town.

You may lodge a complaint against them and thereafter file a case of divorce on the ground of cruelty.

1. It appears marriage has already been performed and it has been done under misrepresentation.

2. So now the option is either to accept the village environment for rest of her life or not to agree on this.

3. If your daughter is educated and she has ambition to stand on her own feet professionally then do not ruin her future and keep her in big city only to pursue her career.

4. Now if the husband remains adamant not to shift with her in a city then going for dissolution of marriage remains the only option.

5. In that event ask them for mutual dvorce for which minimum period of gap from date of marriage is one year.

First try to settle the issue amicably. If it doesn't work out then file a police complain for dowry harrassment and once case gets registered, file domestic violence case. The husband would definitely come for compromise.

If the marriage is not solemnised then cancel the proposal.

If it is solemnised then if this is the only issue , you can adjust and live there.

However the dowry harassment will be there in the town set up hence that cannot be cited as a reason for not living in rural setup.

If the situation is intolerable then decide to quit.

Dear Sir.

You can file divorce case on the ground of cruelty. you will definitely succeed. please follow the laws:

In case of a contested divorce, there are specific grounds on which the petition can be made. It isn’t as if a husband or wife can simply ask for a divorce without stating a reason. The reasons for divorce are as follows, though some are not applicable to all religions.

1. Cruelty

Cruelty may be physical or mental cruelty. According to the Hindu Divorce Laws in India, if one spouse has a reasonable apprehension in the mind that the other spouse’s conduct is likely to be injurious or harmful, then there is sufficient ground for obtaining divorce due to cruelty by the spouse.

2. Desertion

One spouse deserting the other without reasonable cause (cruelty, for example) is reason for divorce. However, the spouse who abandons the other should intend to desert and there should be proof of it. As per Hindu laws, the desertion should have lasted at least two continuous years. Christians, however, will not be able to file a divorce petition solely for this reason.
