Legal Question in Family Law in India
Hi, Im married in feb 2009. I dont actually like the guy that iam married to and we never had any relationship. We had arguments regarding this in june and his parents made a big issue of not having physical relationship with him. Later they decided that we should get seperated. But again in sept they came and took me back, though I made him clear that Im not interested in having any kind of relationship with him. I just want to live alone. Thats all. I really hate marital relationship especially with a guy whom I dint like and whom i insisted that I will not marry. But I have been forced to marry him. He says that he just want to prove that he is a very good person and dont want to bother his parents in giving them trouble cooking for him or in searching another bride. Thats the reason he took me back. I really dont want to live with him. I know Iam ruining his life by staying here. I just want to get out of here, so that he can marry someone else. He always keeps saying that Ive ruined his life, but he is not ready to leave me only because he wants to show himself as good guy. I never use his money for any of my expenses and im trying to get a job. And NOW i want to know -- once I get job iam thinking to move out of his house and live on my own. I want to apply for divorce, so that he can remarry and live his life. Staying here is ruining both our lives. So can you suggest if I can apply for divorce stating all these reasons. We never had nor will ever have any kind of physical relationship. We dont even talk much and dont go anywhere (not even a movie). We simply exist in a house as total strangers. All I do now till I get job is that I cook and take care of his house as a housekeeper. Thats all. Please advice me if I can get divorce if I apply for one. Iam really thinking to seperate.

it is better if you convince him for a divorce by mutual consent. once he is convinced, you both can get divorced without bitterness of litigation. if he does not agree, you may separate after getting a job and apply for divorce and restraint order against him that he does not interfere or disturb your peace of mind by visiting your house where you staying. in case he choose to contest for divorce, it may take some time.
