Dear Concerned,

NO - His false and fake degrees does not affect your life as a wife in any way - if he has been working and taking care of you and your daughter during your good times - his fake documents have nothing to do with this relationship.

Best of Luck

As you have mentioned that you have filed cases against your husband under dowry prohibition act as well as domestic violence Act and have even filed for maintenance. You can definitely file for divorce as domestic violence and dowry prohibition itself are major grounds for divorce and you can always state the fact regarding his false documents which you have already mentioned.
