You can file for divorce on grounds of cruelty under provisions of dissolution of Muslim marriage act
2) if husband does does not appear in court inspite of service of notice you would get exparte divorce
Me and my husband was married in may 2017 (we both are muslim) and since 2018 he left me and went back to his hometown and since then i am not aware of his whereabouts nor he have been providing any maintenance. we tried contacting him on his contact number, and local address but we couldn't reach him, when we emailed him he replied with abuses and initially didnt even recognise me. I do not want anything from him just a one sided divorce, as he has given consent for divorce over email but he is adamant in not physically meeting for the divorce . i do not want too many notices to go to his place as he has threatened to disrespect me and my family infront of the society which i have emails as proof of the entire ordeal, over the email he has given me three talaq and do not want any legal notice to reach his hometown as he doesnt want his parents involvement in the same and want you solve the matter in secretive manner, he is least bothered to give me divorce and wants the keep the matter hanging. after begging a lot over email he has given me an alternative address to send only one letter or notice or final paper to him. I request you to provide me a way out for the same where i do not have to send him any notice and just get once sided divorce and courier him papers regarding the same.
