Based on the legal framework in India, the document you were forced to sign holds no legal sanctity as prenuptial or postnuptial agreements are not recognized as binding contracts under the Hindu Marriage Act. Any agreement signed under coercion or involving backdated entries is void under the Indian Contract Act. Furthermore, you cannot legally waive your statutory right to maintenance. You have the full legal right to file your case in the city where you currently reside under Section 19 of the Hindu Marriage Act, regardless of what that document claims. Regarding your husband's conduct, daily intoxication and misbehavior constitute physical and mental cruelty, which are valid grounds for seeking a divorce and protection orders under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. Since Gujarat is a dry state, his habitual drinking also carries specific legal consequences. For the 7 lakh rupees transferred prior to marriage, these transactions are backed by digital evidence and can be reclaimed as part of a dowry harassment or recovery of property suit. You should immediately consult a local advocate in your city to initiate maintenance and protection proceedings to secure your rights and safety.

you can file divorce on basis of cruelty. for that gather evidence for filing so that case will b strong. collect all payment details for car and other which you give him before and after marriage. in which city you get married and which city you are living is matters.
