Husband filed divorce on the grounds of cruelty


18-Oct-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My husband abandoned me since May 2022 and now I received a notice of divorce which he filed under on section 13 ia. As soon as one year completed for marriage he filed divorce. I am staying at his house which is rented and now i got to know that he didn't pay the rent from last 2 months and have informed landlord that he is vacating the house by next month. Right after the marriage he made me to sleep in another room and humiliated and said he doesn't have any interest in me and said me many a times to leave his house and go back but i didn't so he only left in May 2022 saying he is going out for 2 weeks with some work and he didn't turned up and while staying with me also he didn't provide me with any basic needs of survival and my family provided me with groceries and basic needs. I thought he will change some day so didn't take any action against him but now he sent a divorce notice and mentioned that i harassed him emotionally and mentally. So what shall I do now. We both are hind

Dear Madam, You may immediately lodge a complaint with police and also file domestic violence case. You may claim maintenance. If he is working in government office it is easy to get interim maintenance otherwise you have to get salary certificate either from his office or through Court.

You have to appear before family court on next date and defend your case otherwise you will be placed exparte and proceedings will go on in your absence. To avoid that it is better to appear in person or through a lawyer to defend your case.
