Legal Question in Family Law in India

Sir/s,

There is a case where daughter in law has been torturing and illtreating the husband, mother in law and father in law. The husband has approached Vanita Vahini and also their community leaders where the case is being enquired.

The girl is very rude, mostly having an affair and money minded and wants to extract money and probably shift to her boy friend. There are no concrete proofs to establish this in legal platform.

The girl is presently staying with her parents pending some decision since boy and his parents are scared of living with her fearing some complicatins.

1. AT what stage the boy can file divorce?

2. The grounds are (i) marriage not cosumated (ii) adultery - no documentary proof (iii) cruelty to husband and in laws.

3. What could be the financial implication on this boy if the law decides favouring the girl since the boy is in a junior position in a MNC?

REGARDS,
