Hi,
I am married from 6 and a half year. I had a love marriage. But with the pace of time I starting having alot of problems in my relations. My husband turned alcoholic, psychic, started beating me, asking me for money.. I tried to cope up with the situation for the sake of my family and society, however in 2012 u got to know that my husband is cheating on me and I have enough proofs to prove it. When he was caught, he left me to live on my own. when I complained he starting saying that I should leave job and come back to his home town and have baby. But by then he had lost my trust and denied to have a baby but continued a distant relationship. We met occasionally but there was no change in him. He continued extra marital with the other women. His parents also said that leave him, he is not worth having a wife. I still not thought of divorce, thinking he might understand the value of our marriage in my absence. But he is still the same abusive, aggressive and physic. I have lost faith and trust getting in to depression again. I want to come out of it and divorce seems the only option to me. But I am worried about my future. I am 30 and has no financial security.
Can somebody please suggest what are my rights as a women, wife and daughter in law. Can I claim for alimony? My husband has nothing of his own as he keep changing his jobs and is always short of money because of his high expenditures. But my in laws have got enough property. I can claim for my share to compensate for the years I have wasted in this marriage and my future security. I am residing in Noida and I am an outstation person, my family lives far from here in a village. I cannot even think of going back as there are no job options out there. Please show me a path. Thanks!
