Husband disowned me in 2014 just few months after i settled with him in US. I was asked to return to India to look after his Parents. after i returned, his parents refused to let me join them or my husband. My family spent months in making them accept in presence of both parties elders. Husband filed divorce case in family court under mental cruelity in march 2016. Still he did not appear for single hearing and finally i filed counter claim divorce petition asking for alimony in order to make him come to india.
His family now asking for settlement for marriage expenses and note husband wont be present for settlement.
Now i strongly want him to pay for his deeds and negligence and come to court at least once and go through the same pain as mine. I do not want him to leave me without him going through the pain of separation.
But what could i do to make him appear in front of the court. Like maintainence, Dowry or Domestic violence? and i did go through dowry and domestic violence physically and mentally. but i have no enough proof as they were done in US.
I am still dependant on my family though am educated and working on meagre salary.
