Your marriage under the Special Marriage Act is legally valid and does not require any religious ceremony for acceptance. Your husband’s primary legal and moral duty is towards you as his wife, irrespective of his family’s views. His frequent visits alone to his parental home and exclusion of you from family matters, if causing you mental stress and anxiety, cannot be ignored. You should first have a clear, calm discussion with your husband and set reasonable boundaries, including transparency and prioritising your marital life. If this behaviour continues and affects your mental well-being, it may amount to mental cruelty under matrimonial law. In such a situation, you may seek marital counselling or legal guidance to protect your rights, including the right to live with dignity, emotional support, and companionship within marriage.
