My friend had a love marriage 9 yrs bk...her inlaws never accepted her and treated her badly. she has a daughter of 4 yrs. she has no relation with her inlaws for years now but they keep feeding their son and he has been torturing her physically and mentally for many years...she has been taking all tourture for the sake of their daughter ..they have no husband wife relation for 3 yrs nw. he has left his wife and daughter and gone to his parents 3 months ago...she has got a job this month. she is staying in the joint property they have. She filed a complaint with women cell who called them for reconciliation..where he said he wants divorce...on 2nd meeting he said the same thing. Her lawyer called him for discussion he did not come. Said I have already filed..no one knows what he has filed...my friend has not got any notice of divorce. A relative tried to mediate, he did not come for discussion....what should my friend do ...should she file for divorce on cruelty...what all does she have to proof as there is no proof of mental torture....she has to take care of the daughter ...how will she get maintenance ?
Please suggest asap.....
