Got married at age 19 and mentally tortured by the wife


23-Aug-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I am Christian. Was 19 yr old at the time of marriage in 2002. The priest was my father in law who wrote 21 years on my marriage certificate. My wife had extra marital affairs. Now also.We are living under same roof but no physical contact for 5 years. I have no job. She has govt job. She convinced me to quit my job as lab technician. She wants me to be a dependent. There are times when she doesn't give food to me especially when I find a job. She abuses me in front of the kids. I suffer from depression too. She tortures me mentally. I don't get medical aid in case of injury or sickness. If I find a job and go for work, she stops giving food. I m helpless and broken. I want to save my future by getting a divorce. What is the solution to this? Pls help me. Is there a remedy or am I doomed for life? Someone told me to contact lawRato. My fundamental right of life to dignity is being violated. Please save me. I m not so good with English, so a relative of mine is typing for me.

Hi,
You can file a divorce petition on ground of cruelty before the Hon'ble Court. You should further take your stand and find work. Feel free to have a word with me for more information. All the best.

You should leave your wife right away and file a divorce case against her on grounds of adultery and cruelty. I do not find any reason for you to continue in this marriage as there no mutual love and respect. I think you have wasted 5 years of your life, just leave her house and live independently.

you can file a divorce petition in court on the ground of cruelty as per Christian personal law. There is nothing to worry, as per your facts your case falls under the ground of cruelty for filing divorce petition in court.

As per Divorce Act 1869, any person can seek divorce if such person is subject to any kind of cruelty.
In your case, if your wife is harassing you, in such case, you can file a petition before district judge for dissolution of marriage on the ground of cruelty.
