Dear Client, Registration of marriage is not mandatory. marriage photograph a sufficient evidence that marriage took please. if husband has behave in such a way would be advised to reach out to him, and check his views about his views about continuation of marriage. Further this act also amounts to domestic violence and desertion, and on this basis you can file divorce case at your location. the time limit can be around 1 to 2 years for the case to be finally disposed off.
