• legal issues if i live separate from my husband

i recently got married ( arranged marriage in nov 2013). my husband used to doubt me, scold me and talk ill of me before marriage. i had called off the engagement once. but we and the families met and it was decided to go ahead with marriage, although with a heavy heart from both the sides. he has continued treating me bad even after marriage. i cannot remember even a single day since engagement when i was happy and had peace. last week there was a fight between us when i called my friend at 10:30 pm when i was not able to sleep and my husband had slept. i booked tickets and came to my parent's home. we (parents and myself) have concluded that living with him is a life long tension. i am seeking job elsewhere. i want to know what are the legal aspects of this step of mine. should i tell him frankly what's on my mind ?or tell him that i'm going home to live with my parents and from there ,without telling him, take up job wherever i get? i do not know what step he himself and his family will take...

it is better you visit a marriage counsellor . you have been married only for 5 months . all marriages face teething problems . talk to your husband and try to save your marriage . if situation does not improve then file for divorce after November 2014 .

You cannot file divorce unless your marriage is a year old. Since your marriage is not a year old yet it would be wise for you and your husband to utilise this interregnum period by visiting a marriage counsellor to iron out the differences. If differences cannot be reconciled then you may apply for divorce unilaterally after the date on which your marriage completes a year.

You may take up a job anywhere you desire. No legal consequences flow out of it.

Try to save the marriage and if need be both you & your husband meet the counsellor. You are free to take up a job elsewhere. If you think that your marriage is not working, go for divorce after 1 year of your marriage.
