Husband forcing wife to quit job

subbalaxmi (Querist) 20 July 2012 This query is : Resolved
I have been married since 2 years and working at a firm in Bangalore.My in-laws were staying with us till now and mentally harassed me.This caused lot of disputes between us,forcing me to leave home.After being advised by relatives,they are shifting to Chennai soon.Now my husband is trying to get a job in chennai, near his parents'house.But I dont want to leave my job or move back closer to in-laws , as they will destroy my mental peace and create disputes again.Also ,climate conditions of chennai dont suit my health.

Kindly advise :
1)Can my husband force me to leave my job and relocate with him wherever he wants?
2)If I refuse to do as per his will, can he file for divorce?
3)What if wife gets a job/transfer near her hometown?Can husband stop her from relocating.

Expecting ur help and sincere advice.

1. No your husband can not force you to leave the job especially when there would be chance of further wrecking of your marriage.

2. Whether you refuse or not he can file suit for divorce anyway. But definitely not quitting the job is not a ground for divorce.

3. No he can not.
