Q: Can I file divorce if husband denies to have sex

I have been married for 2 years, and although my husband and I knew each other before marriage, he has shown no desire for sex since we got married. We have consulted multiple doctors, but he neither completes the treatment nor follows up.

I am feeling extremely frustrated and uncertain about whether to file for divorce. I am even beginning to question his sexual orientation. Our relationship feels more like two people just sharing a household rather than a marriage. Can no sex be grounds for divorce in my case? Please advise.

Advocate Siji Malayil answered
You can file a divorce petition on the grounds of mental cruelty caused by the actions or inactions of your spouse. Prolonged cruelty over a continuous period is also recognized as a valid ground for divorce. However, in contested divorce cases, you must provide clear evidence to establish cruelty before the court.
