“Any marriage solemnized, whether before or after the commencement of this Act, may, on a petition presented by either the husband or the wife, be dissolved by a decree of divorce on the ground that the other party has, after the solemnization of the marriage, treated the petitioner with cruelty”.

You can file divorce on the ground of cruelty, but you should have solid grounds to file divorce , to prove the acts of cruelty, it would be better to file maintenance and domestic violence case instead of filing divorce first..
