How to initiate divorce proceedings on grounds of harassment

698 votes

You should lodge a criminal complaint against your husband and inlaws if any.
You can draft your own complaint or you can take help from a legal consultant or a lawyer for drafting.
It's not clear where you are from you should go to concern women cell or cwa cell to lodge the same.
You can also file a criminal Suit against your husband and in laws in the court of concerned chief judicial magistrate under section 12 of Domestic Violence Act.
A separate suit can also be filed under section 406 IPC against husband and inlaws to recover whatever you have mentioned.
If you file a complaint you should follow up for it and the same will be converted into an FIR after sometime and the specific time for this exercise to convert it into FIR is 60 days.
But for the is you should take proper guidance from a good legal practitioner in order to get it done soon easily and in a proper manner.

You have not mentioned your religion. If you are Hindu there is specific code namely Hindu Marriage Act. Section 13 of the said Act provides the grounds of divorce. Cruelty by husband is one of the grounds mentioned there in. On said ground you can take divorce from him. If you are Muslim then also you can file suit for divorce on the ground of cruelty before the family court. other advice can only be given after consulting personally.

First of all kindly finalize, whether you really intend to go for divorce or not?

To avoid the harassment you can initiate Domestic Violence case against your husband. This would ensure he stops harassing you.

Further if you are firm on Divorce, you can very well approach family court (As he has no money and you are employed, you would not be getting maintenance)

Do visit our office in Navi Mumbai / Pune for proper discussion.

Dear client, you are absolutely correct at per your end . But only harassment And he is not earning is not the sufficient grounds for getting divorce. Even he can ask for maintenance from you as per section 125 of crpc. If I can get more details I can suggest other options. Pl.dont hesitate for contact. If you like my view Pl. Rate me.
