mam now he is planning to go abroad without saying me. is there any chance to stop him?

You cannot stop him from going abroad. However you can enforce your rights relating to residence and maintainance against him if he is denying you the same. He can go abroad, but he is duty bound to maintain you.

Your marriage is also not consumated yet.I think there is a connection between this and his rude and abusive behaviour towards you.You before going to any lawyer take him to a doctor or marriage counsellor.

Read the below

COMMENTS

Where the petition for annulment of marriage is filed after 8 years of marriage, such a petition would be barred by time-Sarlabai V.Komal Singh AIR 1991 MP 358.Selectin of bride with total knowledge as regards her defects would serve as estoppel from arguing that marriage was tainted with fraud.-Ruby Roy v. Sudarsan Roy 1988 Cal.210.

Where mental disorder of the wife was the ground for obtaining divorce, there cannot be a challenge to the grant of alimony on the ground that mental disorder was in existence prior to the marriage and therefore the marriage was voidable under s. 12(1)(b) -Mukesh Mathur V.Veena Mathur AIR 1989 Raj 97.

Where the annulment is sought on the ground of fraud, details which the professional match makers supply bear no relevancy as the parties are at liberty to verify the facts.-Deepayan Chatterjee V.Papiya Chatterjee 1990 (1)HLR 113

Don't be hasty , file a case under DV Act and continue ur studies. Find reason for not leading family life. If is not possible with him go for divorce. Keep the prescripttion and doctors advice .

As u want further studie, go on it while procecute the case.

Don't spoil the youth.

Good luck

There are numurous solutions in law for your problem. But, they are to separate you and your spouse. No law like Domestic Violence and 498A I.P.C, Sec.13 of Hindu Marriage Act shall give a permanant solution to you for a peaceful life.

Take an instance, If you marry another man after getting divorce from your current husband, Could you say that the person will not be like your husband? How can you predict the matter?

Thus, If you have true love on your husband, continue your negotiations with him. Simultaneously, you have to enhance your qualification, braveness and ebility. Be Optimistic and take this as a challenge and overcome the same. Hope you will achieve. Try to settle the matter amicably failling which you may come to the court. If you have another plan please go ahead using the above-said laws as weapon.

All the Best.
