Answer #2

From the facts stated, your husband’s conduct clearly amounts to cruelty and desertion under matrimonial law. Leaving you alone for prolonged periods, neglecting marital obligations, and ultimately abandoning you constitutes valid legal grounds to seek divorce. You are well within your rights to initiate divorce proceedings (either contested divorce on grounds of cruelty/desertion or mutual consent, if he agrees). Your independent earnings do not take away your legal rights. Additionally, you may claim: Maintenance (if required, based on comparative income), Right to residence or alternative accommodation, Protection under the Domestic Violence Act, if mental harassment is established. You should not continue in a relationship that is evidently non-functional and detrimental to your well-being. It is advisable to proceed legally and secure a proper exit along with protection of your rights.
