if your husband at time of marriage had deceived you then you should have made application for annulment of marriage under section 12 of HMA within period of one year of marriage . if your husband is cured now dont file for divorce now . diabetes can be controlled with proper medication

You have not made clear whether --
1) Prior to marriage, had you or your parents asked your husband or his parents about the diseases he had?
2) Also, was he or his family really aware of the disease of blodd cancer before marriage?
3) Whether you or your parents declared about your health conditions to the boy or his family?
4) Would he or you have developed any disease after marriage, would you have deserted each other due being ill?
I am sure, before settling for marriage, nobody asks or even tries to ask whether the boy or girl has developed any disease.
About chemotheraphy, that definitely has side effects, but normally vanish after few months time and the patient starts his/her normal living.
So, better cooperate with your husband to help him recover at the earliest, rather than thinking about creating legal problems for him to add woes to his ill health.

He & his family were aware of Blood cancer.
They did not tell us about the diseases.
They had decided to hide it & to tell girl after marriage only

I have accepted him with all his condition.
Cancer survived patient(BOY) want completely Healthy wife. But he is not ready to marry another cancer survived ( Girl) patient.Is it not wrong ?
Is it right to intentionally hide such important information from wife?
Is there anylaw to protect girl/boy from such deceiving people ?

You have not replied my questions, specifically (1), (3) & (4).
Question of hiding the disease can arise only if you or your parents would have enquired about his health conditions and his family would have hidden that even on asking.
Any law is not to cover up one and all suppositions of the population of India.
However, if you have already decided to leave him, you can feel free to take a divorce.

Dear Learned Friends, those who have flagged this query as "anonymous", I think its very unfair as this query is asked by a female about her personal life and she has right to stay anonymous in a public forum. Kindly provide appropriate reply, query seems genuine.

yes, we understand the query is genuine but there is nothing to prevent her from disclosing identity.
Let her come out with a name, I will render advice.

Mr. clone,
You can reply the query, if liked. But, seemingly, she wants some reply that may suit to her taste, irrespective of whether ethical or unethical.
She prefers to find fault with the boy and his family, but does not realise that before fixing marriage, verification of boy's particulars or health conditions was the responsibility of her own parents and relatives. Even now, if she is fed up with the boy, none can restrain her from seeking a divorce.
There is definitely a law againstdeceiving people, but that depends if the boy or his family told a lie on being enquired about her health conditions. But, she does not seem to be interested in replying my questions.
