Yes, you can seek a legal divorce under theÂ
Indian Divorce Act, 1869, which governs matrimonial matters for Christians in India. Based on your situation of 7 years of separation due to cruelty, you have strong legal grounds to file a petition.Â
Legal Grounds for Your Case
You can file for a contested divorce under Section 10(1) of the Act based on the following:
Cruelty (Section 10(1)(x)):Â This includes both physical and mental suffering that makes it harmful or injurious for you to live with your spouse.
Desertion (Section 10(1)(ix)): Since you have lived separately for much longer than the required continuous period of two years, you can also cite desertion if he abandoned the marital relationship without reasonable excuse.
Presumption of Death (Section 10(1)(vi)): If you have had no information about him and he has not been heard of for seven years or more, the court may grant a divorce on this presumption.
