My husband tried to kill me. He tried to strangle me many times.


17-Sep-2025 (In Divorce Law)
Can I get divorce on basis of domestic violance but I don't have proof. My husband tried to strangle me many times. He never emotionally attached to me and our son. He asked us to leave the home many times. Also he never took responsibility at home. Every expensive I have to bare. Sometimes he gives half of the expenses. He again tried to strangle me today. I am afraid of him now.

You can seek divorce on the ground of cruelty under relevant personal law. Physical assaults, repeated threats, emotional neglect, and denial of responsibility are legally recognised as cruelty. Even if you do not have direct proof, you can rely on your testimony, medical reports (if any), police complaints, messages, or witness statements. I strongly advise you to immediately file a police complaint or Domestic Violence case under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, which can provide you protection, residence rights, and maintenance. Since your safety is at risk, you may also seek interim protection orders from the court. Do not delay taking legal steps for your and your child’s safety.
