Re: need help to get out of this marriage
If you want to file for divorce you will need to separate from your husband. If he agrees to the separation, you can get a divorce in MD after 1 year. If he doesn't agree, you would claim that his behavior toward you was so abusive that it forced you to leave.
However, it's unlikely that you'll be able to recover the money your parents spent on the wedding or dowry.
