Judicial Seperation will lead to divorce unless there is a compromise between you and your Husband.

I would advise you to take the matter seriously and proceed cautiously as taking recourse to legal action could make matters worse. I feel that if you have been treated in a manner as you suggest, it may be better for you to get a divorce. But not without attempting to reconcile with your Husband and In-laws.

I would advise you to drop the idea of judicial sepration as this decision will give one way to divorce.

You may better get divorced after trying for an amicable settlement.

Re: judicial seperation and divorce

These are NOT two separate issues. A decree of judicial separation may become a valid ground for divorce.

If you do not want divorce, you do not need to initiate any legal step at this stage. It is possible that good sense may prevail upon him and he may seek forgiveness.

However, you may consider initiating criminal proceedings against him for the 'torture' which amounts to 'cruelty' under Indian Penal Code and 'domestic violence' unde the D.V.A.
