Dear Lawyers,
I have concern please provide me solution 4 dis and guide me what should i do further for my problem.This is the reason why i am here.
I am MBA graduate from and having 3 years of experience. My marriage got fixed on Nov,2011 with a guy. I was been told that the boy is full fledged MBA , having booked 3 BHK Flat , earning so & so. And every thing was going fine. The whole marriage was conducted by us at a 5 Star hotel and we openly asked the boys side if they have any demands as such but they refused that they dont want anything from us. Still we were conducting a lavish wedding. 10 days before marriage we started smelling that something was not right in boy or with his family. As his mother started demanding this or that and father was not happy with whatever we were doing for them. Even the boy called 2 twice i felt he was overly drunk and was not in his senses.
But we took it lightly and ignored thinking that we are taking this too seriously.
But on the day of marriage they actually showed their true colors and made commotion and spoiled the mood of marriage completely. As they expected us to give the car and other things in jewellary . My parents and i was very upset. I even felt like committing suicide on that day but nothing could be done on the day of marriage so some how i convinced myself that now i have to take responsibility of making situations good. and after marriage i adjusted and tried to make things good my way but still my husband , in laws and his sister and father in law was very abusive in nature and it was hard to make them feel good.
No matter i cook food , keep house clean etc etc but all in vain.
After marriage i came to know that my husband is not an MBA nor does his salary is so & so LPA nor does he has booked any flat. I felt i was been cheated my dreams of having a successful and comfortable life were shattered. I wanted to inform my parents but i was scared that they have spend 25 lakh on my marriage and now ill be giving them another shock of life. So i kept mum but i was not in a position to forgive my husband and was a little cold towards him.
He started abusing me and used to hit be hard every now and then very hard over little issues at home. He used to threaten me with knife , opening gas and matchbox and pushing me from 3rd floor of our house. He also used to force me to drink and smoke and was under an influence of bad company of friends who encourage him for all wrong doings.
He had a very hysteric nature and used to drink and smoke a lot and when i shared all this with his parents they did not supported me. Then i was forced to inform my parents about this and they shared their dear daughter's concern with my in laws but did not received a consoled reply.
Then one day over a heated argument he chocked my throat and tried to kill me.Some how i begged and made him calm.then my parents ran to me to settle the matter.
In the mean while his mother kept my complete gold jewellary in her custody saying i dont have a bank locker in Delhi so unless i take a bank locker she wont give it to me. On number of arguments on this matter my husband never took a bank locker in Delhi and continued to postpone the idea to having a bank locker. And my jewellary was kept with mother in law. Also he used to cut short the kitcken expenses a lot and always to used to decide over menu and other decisions at home. He never maintained me financially at all. I never used to have more that 300 rs with me at home and used to beg him for money if i have to go some where.
Before marriage my in-laws said that whether you want to work or not its your choice in life. So i thought that i have been working till date then after marriage why should i not take 2-3 months and enjoy my married life then think of having a job.
But immediately after marriage they forced me to take up a job within 2 weeks. They were putting lot of pressure over me and my parents for finances and kept all my gold assets with them and parents never had any solution for their sons bad behavior with me.
Then my parents took up decision to talk to his parents but all in vain.
Now the case is in court and i am with my parents and its almost a year that we are fighting for our rights.
I am so frustrated and depressed because i thought i am stepping in a new era of life and have a promising future ahead.but now i am fighting case from 1 year.
There are 2 things i came to know while police was doing investigation to prepare chargesheet 7 months back.That before i got married to him the same was repreated with another girl in his life who 5 days before the marriage took up decision of cancelling the marriage with him.The charhesheet is already against him and prooves that he is the culprit.
But every time the court grants him a jail his lawyer takes a stay order from court and unecessarily wasting courts and our time.
Here i want to know that will i get justice ever and this guy will be punished for his deeds.
and secondly and most importantly can i approach or take help of media and bring my case in light so that it gets fast tracked.
Please advice me genuinely and my life has become a hell. From past 1 year i have not slept properly, not eaten properly , never go out of my house , disconnected from all my friends , and dont feel like getting involve in anything. My only aim in life is to get justice. I will not be able to move forward without getting justice.
I dont want him to spoil any girls life again. Some one has to take up stant so i took up a stand to get him punish through law. Please advice if i can take help of media.

Ruchika
