My husband is not signing the divorce paper
14-Mar-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My husband and I had a love story, and he manipulated me into marriage. I was 17 year old that time. After 10 month of marriage, I left the house and stayed separately because of his behavior . He promised to buy a apartment and I helped him with the money. But instead of him buying the apartment, he gambled it all away.he also abused me as well, daily coming in drunk. I started filing for divorce but he is not signing the paper. And daily he comes to my house and bangs on the door and threat me into giving him money and create so much drama. I asked police for help but all they say is they can’t do anything in family matter. What should I do now? I am scared for my life as well.
As you said at the time of marriage you were 17, which means that you were minor at that time. You don't need a consent of your husband for divorce. You can file a suit for nullity of marriage directly on the ground that you were minor at that time and now you know that your husband is not the right choice for you. You will have to prove that your husband has made you marry him forcefully. You can file a contested divorce petition.

You can file a Private Criminal Complaint in Court hrough me or any Advocate of your choice against the threats which your Husband is giving you & for Cheating/Criminal Breach of Trust. You can file a Mental Harassment Case against your Husband in Civil Court for mentally harrasing you & can seek compensation. You can get those Police Officers terminated who didn't help you out legally. You can file a Divorce Case in Court to seek Divorce. You can seek Police Protection too, if you are scared of your life.
