Legal Question in Family Law in India
I am a 54 year old woman who finally decided to take the plunge into marriage after having waited all these years as I had not found the right man.. One year of talking and seeing a Man who had advertised in Shaadi.com with in profile inserted within 6 months of his wife's death.. convinced that he is straight and committed to an offer of marriage made, we got married on July 11 in the temple in the presence of all friends and relations and the same was registered in the temple registers.
From day 1 it was a real mental trauma for me. The man did not think it necessary to consummate the marriage neither was he kind and considerate with a woman moving into his house. He was mean and always critical of my doings. Was great at blowing his trumpet and rant about his past and his dead wife.. but if were to talk of my people or events he would call it nagging!. He would never bother to spend on me and I ended up spending for my personal requirements like the parlor or any snacks I wanted. Also he would question each and every money spent for the kitchen and making it so difficult to take decisions. Over and above this I found he had lied on his age and also his heart condition. He could not enter into any healthy argument... it was always shouting.. throwing well cooked food into garbage becos it was a little less in salt or chilli. Finally after 8 weeks over a simple argument he started shouting rot and slammed my shoe cupboard shut threatening to throw out my shoes and slippers if I left the door open.. I was only airing it out and told him so.. but he said next time he see it is open he will throw all the footwear out.. I said he will not! Then like a man in a mad rage asked me to get out of his house.. ! Yes he never made me feel once that it is my house too.. leave alone trying to make me feel at home!. I walked out.. Now I would never think of getting back to him ever again. He wants divorce.. what is it I can demand to give him a divorce on mutual basis.. He has ruined my status.. Was happy in a job and looking after my aged home here in Bangalore while he dislodged my life to offer mental trauma and upset!.
