What is the minimum period after marriage before you can apply for divorce
I got married in Dec last year.Its been only 5 months now. My husband likes another girl in his office.He started the affair after our engagement. They continued even after we got married and claim that nothing physical has been between them. Now the girl is married to another person. My husband wants me to transfer all the savings money and my current monthly salary to his account or a new account under his name. He is an alcoholic and drinks a minimum of a quater every weekend.Most of the weekends he stays over at his friends place and his friends are ppl who invite prostitutes.He forces me in bed at times.He wants me to get his permission before i do anything.eg.the clothes i wear,meting my parents and friends,having food etc.He is treating me like a slave.I dont want to lead a life with him and want to apply for a divorce.I was told you need to be married for atleast a yr before you apply for divorce.Please let me know the procedure and how soon can i apply for a divorce.
