This query is : Resolved
One of my relative (Girl - Hindu) married a year ago and she was living with her husband since then till recent weeks. She came back to parents saying there was no relationship developed between her and her husband in any way, He did not even touched her (He does not have any other relationship also). She said she tried and asked him many time but he was very unresponsive (even now also) and postponing every time (Looks like he is having problem) , He does not talk to anyone and very irresponsible but he works in private company. Also his parents support him knowingly he is doing wrong. Now Girl says she is not at all interested. Every one in her family are so upset and try to talk to Her husband and his Family but they seems to be very happy since she left and they getting ready for divorce and responding irresponsibly. Question here is :
The Girl and Her Family wants to punish him and his family because they spoiled her life for nothing . What action they could take and to whom they can complain , Can she go for compensation (She is educated and she works for their family business)?

The wife can claim for maintenance under section 125 crpc or 23 of PWDV Act.
The wife can pray for divorce as well.
For tortures provision of section 498A is there.
For one time compensation provisions of PWDV Act is there.
Get in touch with a local advocate soon.
