Legal Question in Family Law in India

Hello sir/madam,

I got married in 2006 june. My husband left to USA (H1B VISA) with in a month after marriage with a very shot notice to me and my family.

We lived for one year in USA. My husband started seeking their parents suggestions and started harassing(mentally with abusive words). The reason was, my father promised my in-laws that he will give amount of 2lacs to them during our first marriage anniversary. As it is getting delayed they started harassing me.

we had a baby also.

They started ill treating me finally that lead to illness (arthritis). I was sent to India-Hyd in 2008 Nov.

I stayed with my parents for 6 months and recovered.

My husband asked me to leave the baby with their parents and asked me to come US alone, I tried to convince him and my in-laws, they didn't agree.

We have been separated from the last one year. I have been in contact with him, he is not receiving the phone calls and not responding to emails. I'm expecting change in his behavior.

Finally, my father-in-law(sr. judge by profession) took the attorney and noticed for divorce.

Please suggest how/whom to approach in this situation.

1) I can't go to USA and stay with my husband because I will be harassed again.

2) I'm asking my husband to come India and stay with us for few weeks and resolve all the issues,

then we can go. But he is not listening not responding.

3) His VISA expires in April 22nd ,2010.

4) I don't want to get my baby separated from me.

5) I don't want to loose my self-respect.

Please advice.

Thank You

you have options viz. seeking divorce by mutual consent and custody of the child with proper alimony or their refusal may attract complaint under domestic violence act and dowry laws.
