divorce n alimony

I'm married for 3 yrs...n experienced a very bad marriage.. Went to physical mental n emotional torture from my husband n mother in law.. In 3 yrs of marriage my husband is not physically involved with me for 2 n half yrs.. N said he's facing some s*xual prob.. He said he's not having money to see a doctor.. I waited for 2 n half yrs... Now he's doing financially well.. So now whn I concern n asked him to visit the doctor, he always ignored.. I'm 34 yrs old.. I'm was concerned abt my motherhood.. So I disclosed the matter to his mother.. But to my surprise she's least bothered.. She said u r his wife.. U asked him to visit wt shud I say in this, thn I told my parents. Whn my parents intervened and asked him abt the matter and requested him to visit doc.. My mother in law n my husband got very angry n said that my husband doesn't have ny problem and because my husband doesn't feel mental compatibility with me so he has not given me my right and said th I'm not a good wife and daughter in law and proof myself first thn he will decide to give me my rights and my mother in law asked my husband not to take me back from my parents house ... Kindly suggest wt do I do?

Give notice to them for your legal right i.e. maintenance.

If they don't want to take you at their own home inspite of this then you need to file DV case against ur husband for mental and physical cruelty that he done with you.

What do u want? want to leve with him or not?

Maintenance? or please specify.

I don't want to be with my husband anymore.. They are playing smart he said th he doesn't want to be with me bt haven't yet send me ny divorce paper. And I want to know the actual actual reason.. For 2 n half yrs he said th he's facing prob so he's not been able to get physical to me and now he's saying th he's completely fine. He's not at all ready to go for the test. In the name of test he's getting violent. I showed my abt motherhood as 34 yrs old. Can I apply for court order so th he can go for the test, as this all started whn asked him to go for the test.

In case you wish to severe your ties with your husband, then it would be most appropriate to file a divorce petition against him. Non performance of s*xual relations without any justified cause is a decent ground for divorce as the same amounts to cruelty. Therefore it is important that you act promptly and seek divorce from your husband. In addition to that you must also seek maintenance from him for yourself and your child.

Thank u so much for ur suggestion sir, bt I have one doubt, th as I mentioned I'm married for 3 yrs and for 2 n half yrs my husband is not physically involved with me and the reason he gave is his inability.. I don't have ny child. I don't want to be with him nymore.. Can I get maintanence from him as I'm unemployed and right now I'm residing at my brother's place.. So I don't have ny house also to live.

Not having s*x is valid grounds for divorce, but proving it is another story. Since you don't want to be with your husband, bring elders from both sides and amicably end the marriage through mutual consent divorce. If you go through courts, it might take 10 years, and though you could enjoy maintenance, you will lose your youthful life and also your much wanted motherhood. Since you said they didn't let you in the house, you are entitled to file DV case and get reliefs including maintenance immediately. But I strongly recommend not to take legal route like filing cases includingredients divorce petitions unless absolutely avoidable. They will ruin both your lives. Keep in mind, you need divorce. Try to get it with as little hassle as possible. Let your husband and in laws understand that they will face lot of problems if they don't agree for MCD. Your friends and Lawyers might instigate you to file false cases, apply for interim maintenance etc. But if your main aim is divorce to get married again and achieve motherhood, get ithe in the simplest and easiest way by arriving at an amicable solution. For more guidancexpensive, PM me.

If your husband agrees for a mutually consented divorce petiton, then you may file one jointly and obtain divorce within 6 months. However in case he is adamant in not separating ties, then you may file for divorce based on the aboive mentioned grounds that you enlisted in your query.

Maintenance is a statutory right available to you. Therefore you shall be awarded maintenance in all probability. However the quantum shall vary depending on the facts of the case.
