Can i divorce my husband on ground that he is schizophrenia. I got married 7 years ago and have a 6 years old son. I think my husband had schizophrenia before marriage but it was not visible. They have not told us before marriage. He was running a shop. Then he closed shop and did a job for 1 year with reputed company. He is off and on in his job. Currently, he is not doing any job. I am working since last 2 years and earning around Rs 30 K per month.
I have following questions :
1. Can i get divorce on ground that my husband has schizpphrenia after 7 years of my marriage.
2. Can i claim monthly maintainence from him to support my son. Currently, my father in law is supporting us through rental income.
3. Can my husband claim monthly maintainence from me since i am earning in case i file divorce
4. Can i claim property from my father in law ( his own self aquired property) through my son.
5. Can i file a cheating case against my inlaws and sister in law for not letting us known his problem before marriage.
Will it be useful ?
