After a year of marriage, I walked out of matrimonial house because apart from a physical relationship, my husband would hardly talk to me citing that as he did not have any female friends in his friends circle he found it difficult to talk to me. This reasoning was very ridiculous one. Later in a year of marriage, he told me that he owed quite a sum and that is why he was unable to take me for any outings. This reasoning was also quite a stupid one because he had all the money to indulge himself in buying authentic sports jersey from high brand stores. He never had the time to talk to me but would spend endless time playing cricket, football and watch all sports matches. These trivial issues in marriage which were many, made it worse which led me to walk out of marriage because I realized that it was not worth living with a man who did not love me. Its been over six months that I am living in my maternal house. Further, I have no issues. As I got married in Roman Catholic Church, I have been informed by the Priest that I need to get Divorce from both the Court and the Church. I am seeking for a Counsel who can help me secure a Divorce from Court. Further, on what grounds can I get Divorce?

THE INDIAN DIVORCE ACT, 1869
wife may petition for dissolution :
Any wife may present a petition to the District Court or to the High Court, praying that her marriage may be dissolved on the ground that, since the solemnization thereof, her husband has exchanged his profession of Christianity for the profession of some other religion, and gone through a form of marriage with another woman ;
or has been guilty of incestuous adultery,
or of bigamy with adultery,
or of marriage with another woman with adultery,
or of rape, sodomy or bestiality,
