I am married - 14 years. for the past 5 years he is sexually hassing me, i.ehe forces me even at the time of illness. i was suffereing badly of depression due to this. and he didn't even take doctors advice. he is asking for a divorce and once he had send me a same by post. I refused to get. Now he has asked me to live separately for two years. i don't know what to do. since iam a working woman, i manage myself somehow. is this a trick for getting divorce easier. is there any time period of seperation to get divorce. i know he is rude, less understandable. if someone advices him i think he may change. i took our problem to his brothers, who in turn poured oil on the fire. they brought someother family issues which has no sense atall. shall i go for a legal help. shall i file a RCR or something like that. if divorce is the final, i don't want any alimony, i just need him to be punished whatever he had done wrong to me. what shall i do.

Madam,sexually harassment is a crime. Act of your husband is like a animal, as you mention is a cruelity against you.If you have madeup your mind to punish him, you can lodge FIR AGAINST YOUR HUSBAND FOR RAPE it comes under the category of rape which is a criminal offence, for which he may be punished even a term of seven year imprisionment.

if your husband want to live separate from you then you can file a case of maintenance in the court and also for the harassment.

You can take Judicial Divorce, which will remain in force for the rest of life and also it will teach him a lesson.
Judicial divorce is different from Other divorces, just remember:)

If you really wants to teach him lesson, you have lots of options ie. You may lodge FIR for cruelty, may ask maintenance, may lodge complaint under DV Act.
You may take help of NGO working for women or help of CAW cell of your area.

For 14 years you could not change him,what is remaining to be suffered god knows.Divorce is a good option.After having said such things committed by him against you,any body can infer that you are at wrong.GET HIM PUNISHED,if he has committed such atrocities,further delay may prejudice your cause.
