Hi,
Providing false information with respect to age , salary and health at the time finalising marriage proposal tantamounts to cheating (sec 420) and criminal breach of trust
( sec 405) of IPC. The above offences constitute cruelty under marriage act. Since your marriage was solemnized five months ago first you have to file leave of appeal to file for divorce under sec 14 of hindu marriage act and then witjh permission of court file for divorce under section 13 of hindu marriage act. In addition to divorce you are also eligible to claim compensation under section 21 of domestic violence act

Dear Client,
You must proceed by consulting marriage elders about the cheating of your husband and their parents and elders of that side. You may issue a legal notice about his behavior and you can file petition for maintenance and if your husband harassed you, you can file a complaint under Domestic Violence Case and a Criminal Case under Section : 498 - A of Indian Penal Code. Take Expert legal advice by engaging advocate.
