Dear,
As the girl was converted to Islam at the time of marriage, she will be considered as Muslim only and she will be governed by muslim personal laws. The marriage is acceptable under Muslim Law. Muslim women in India can get a divorce from their husband through two customary ways- One is through their personal Sharia law through Tafweez and Lian. The other through the statutory provision under Dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act, 1938. However, divorce through personal Sharia law has to be under the scrutiny of Quazi, mostly guided under the regulations of All India Muslims Personal Law Board. Under Dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act, 1938, the girl can file a divorce petition in the family court of jurisdiction where the marriage was solemnized or where the husband and wife last lived together or where the girl is presently staying. The time period in divorce case cannot be predetermined, however, it can take 2-3 years of time.
Hi according to your query you can take divorce from him by filing divorce petition in the court stating that he had deserted you for a continuous period of not less than two years immediately proceeding the presentation of the petition; or he had since the solemnization of the marriage treated you with cruelty. so for further good suggestion you can contact us at any time.
