Need diorce because of years of mental abuse.
22-Nov-2024 (In Divorce Law)
I am a Sikh. I want to know the procedure of divorce, do i need to convince my husband for this. He abuses me and my son for no specific reason. I want to distance him from me but sadly he won't let me do that. So, basically I just want to know that can I on the grounds of cruelty and unsound mind I could get divorce or no.
You can take divorce from your husband on the grounds of cruelty under, and you can file a complaint in the CAW cell, and you can also file a domestic violence complaint against your husband for his cruel behavior towards you and your child.

If the behaviour of your husband is intolerable towards you can anytime send a complaint regarding your grievances in writing to the police station according to your jurisdiction. And if you wish to go legal then you can also file a petition under section 12 DV or section 125 CrPC and claim maintenance for yourself. And if there's no scope of living together then rather stretching the relationship you should file for contested divorce under the ground of cruelty. I would suggest you to go with mutual divorce because it's cost effective and ends up in a maximum of six months. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

As a Sikh, your marriage is governed by the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, which allows you to file for divorce on grounds of cruelty (Section 13(1)(ia)) and unsoundness of mind (Section 13(1)(iii)). Cruelty includes physical or mental abuse, such as the mistreatment you and your son face, while unsoundness of mind requires medical evidence proving your husband’s mental condition. You can file a petition for divorce in the family court without your husband’s consent, as the court can grant a divorce based on evidence even if he contests it. Include evidence of abuse, such as police complaints or medical records, and seek interim maintenance or protection orders if needed. A lawyer can assist in preparing your case to ensure your rights are safeguarded throughout the process.
