I married just 4 month ago. I did love marrige . Before marrige he has physical relationship with 3 to 4 girls before me. I found one pendrive in which i saw his porn video with girls. I told him this then he hited me very badly. After this he also said sorry and requesting for forgive him. But i am very much shocked and i m not able to accept this. But this all happened in last month and i am yet staying with him. I told him for divorce and went to my mom dad's house but some how he take back me with him.Now i don't have trust any more.But if i go to my parent house he did something and get me back. so i can't go to my parents house. Now a days he also do not allowing talking with my parents. I had all proof of my husbands relationship with other girls i had those all video which i saw in his pendrive. My another question is that after marrige somany times he hitted me in last 4 moth whenever quarrel happend. But then after some days we are living normally. So can i get divorce .

There are several provisions in law for divorce like adultery, cruelty, domestic violence etc. In yr case you came to know of his affairs after you married him so it's not adultery. At the most it is hiding material fact n therefore cheating. You came back from yr parental home two or three times which means you have condoned his misdeeds. In my opinion the best thing is to love your husband n family n try to correct him by love n patience. It is indeed possible. You have hardly any strong ground for divorce.

Yes, you can file for divorce on the ground of cruelty. You can also start criminal proceedings under section 498A of IPC. But remember. Never compromise the truth or exaggerate your situation, which is the norm in these proceedings. Another point is that pre-marital sex by your husband cannot be the basis for any type of divorce. It is only the post-marriage conduct that determines the fate of the marriage.

Please be careful about him being physically abusive towards you.
Your husbands prior relationship cannot be a ground for divorce right now. However if he continues to have extra marital affair then you can use it as a ground for divorce.
You can get divorce on the ground of cruelty and domestic violence.
