Section 9 (of Hindu Marriage Act) is for Restoration of Conjugal Rights and not for throwing one out. However, after the grant of Section 9 if there is no cohabitation for one year, then one is entitled to divorce. Now that you have come to know of the application, you may appear in the court on the date without waiting for the papers to come to you. You may request the papers filed by your husband and after getting them you may file your response. Being woman, you are entitled to free legal aid from the state legal service authority (normally called Legal Aid) Legal Aid offices are located in the court complex and each state has its web site for legal aid. Choice is yours if you want legal aid or not. Or else you may engage a counsel and file your reply.
