After that I had few rounds of discussion with my wife and her parents recently, they are very cruel and harsh to me and my parents. It is been 9 months I dropped her back at her place (I am working in UAE). Till last week never they came for reconciliation or even a phone call to even fight. Even my wife. Finally after considering so many factors I have decided to file divorce on this problem. I had so much trauma from the girl in the few days she was with me. Both me and my entire family are affected so much. I have got so many health issues coz of this problem (Like back pain, weight loss etc). Stress/Pressure/Fight for everything I spk/hitting me/Abusing me and my parents etc. Till this second she has not changed. From day 1 of marriage she dint like me or this marriage. This showed in her behavior at my place and in our flat in Abudhabi.
Last week I had been to India for a short break during when I met a lawyer for advice. He said the following:
1. Lawyer asked me to send him a detailed mail on all the tortures and fights she did. So that he could file a divorce petition in terms of mental cruelty.
2. He advised to try for mutual consent and he said it would take just 6 months if it is mutual.
3. He said if it is contested it can take n number of years.
4. He said even if one day girl lived with me she can claim compensation. I am more worried on this. My family were the ones who spent for the entire wedding (close to 20 lacks) as I am the only son it was grand wedding. Girls father spent only 2 lacks. Also I spent close to 5-7 lacks in Abroad to set up house for our family. When she tortured me here, I had send her to India so many times, so lacks on flight tickets, visa, etc. List goes on. But if law is still favorable to my wife in this case it is not fair :( I have all bills, contract copies etc. We do not need even a single penny from them or der jewels (15 sovereigns gold she brought). All her things we will give as it is. We only need peace from this problem. What should I do to prove my innocence ? Pls help me
Also in this case I want divorce coz she tortured me. Not the other way around. Please advice.
5. If we have to try for mutual divorce? Should we wait to file the petition? Please advice.
Or is filing petition and spking with her parents is a parallel process? Pls confirm
6. Now she is working in a company and earning good salary. So she is not dependent. Even then is she eligible for compensation.
7. Please advice if a guy can claim compensation from girl's parents? I do not need even a penny , just trying to undstd the law. Pls confirm.
8. What if they file wrong/false allegations against me or my parents. I have all the abusive mails/sms she sent during her time at our place.
9. Lawyer also said I need to be present for all hearings in India. But my work is in UAE :( I myself work in UAE Ministry of Justice only in Quality team. Can there be any exception to skip hearings so that my parents can represent me. Please confirm.
10. Please confirm, approximately how much will it cost for lawyer/court proceedings for a divorce case. Already we lost a lot of money for this marriage and post marriage expenses. So I am concerned on this factor too. Pls advice.
Please clarify my doubts. I am going to India again next month , at that time I am planning to file the petition based on your inputs. Thanks a lot in advance.
