• Mental torture after marriage

I am facing mental torture from the day of marriage from my in laws. My mother in law and sister in law couldnt accept our marriage they are continuously causing problem from the day of marriage and after I got pregnant my husband also started supporting them. They started crying from my haldi rasam. Then when my husband was with me in the marriage night they started shouting and creating scenes. Then in airport when I was travelling towards shasural I faced their cruelity again. Reaching home it increased. No rasam to welcome the bride. No reception was given . Honeymoon to Goa which my husband promised was postproned. Even door was not closed physical relationship was denied still his sisters marriage. Because she will feel bad. It was not mentioned before marriage. My family members had to request after that door was closed. No rasam was performed. Then problem increased. My husband didnt have permission to take me out. And if I asked he would get angry find faults in me. Physically he started saying me bad things. Forced me to wake up early and start doing household work. I didnt had permission to spend alone time. I tried to cheer myself chatting with friends, family, listening music, reading and sometimes taking brake alone in my room. They brought cruel aligation that I am mad or talking to some other men . While I found my husband doing something in Pune with his employee. He was taking revenge. I became pregnant it added fuel to fire. I wanted to go and live with my sister I was not allowed and humiliated. A positive person like me started loosing myself everyday every moment. All my dreams shattered. I tried to drink harpic. To which my husband says go and die outside my house. He used slangs like chutiya for all Bengalis and humiliated me since I am from Bengali family. When I called him he behaved so bad I lost the courage to call him. Then he took me for abortion I couldnot keep the baby because his mother and sister doesnt wants. I broke. Doctor refused to abort. The problem increased I and my family was ill treated to maximum. My husband forced me to leave his home with my mother. And never came to visit me from January. Putting stress on me everyday. When I pointed out his mistakes he blocked me in whatsapp, facebook and phone too. I have text messages ,and some recordings as evidence. But all I dont have.

1. I do not thin this marriage is going to work and if that is so and for the sake of your self ride and dignity it is advisable that you part your ways peacefully.

2. So ask for payment of permanent alimony of your choice so in lieu thereof you can give him mutual divorce .

3. If he does not agree then you can file case u/s 498A IPC for the tortures done to you .

4. You can also file case for maintenance under PWDV Act which would be around 25% of his income.

So act accordingly and feel free to contact.

1. Yours is a fit case to apply for dissolution of marriage on the ground of cruelty. So you are free to file a petition in this regard.

2. Your husband can contest the petition on service of summons. So preserve all your social media evidence.

3. You are also free to file a DV case under Section 12 of DV Act to seek maintenance for yourself and your child. You can also claim monetary compensation from him for all the acts of domestic violence.

1. If you think that you have done no mistake then ask your husband what mistake you have done as per them and why does he want him to admit his mistake which you have not done before his mother?

 

2. Audio record this conversation in your telephone.

 

3. Thereafter visit his place and state before your mother in law that you feel sorry if she is hurt.
