Hello Sir
I am a 31 year old female living in Noida.
I have been in a very bad problem for the last 1 year.
The problem started with my decision to get married to a guy I knew around 7 years back.It was a arya samaj marriage that was done in Delhi. I am a Hindu but my husband is a Jain.
My parents did not agree of the marriage and I left my parents home to live in my so called husband home in Gurgaon.
However my husbands home was also not much supportive and as a result after 2 months I returned to my father's home and my father was very unhappy with me.
To avoid any embarrassment my family or me never told anybody about this marriage.
I was in depression for a long time but was able to come out of it after sometime.
All this while I avoided contact with my husband and so did he.
He too had not mentioned to anyone that he was married to me all this while.
However for the last 1 year i bumped into him and we started interacting again.
Things started on a good note but now he has been pestering me to divorce him. He has become very aggressive and threatening me with going public about our marriage by posting on FB etc.
If that happens my father will be very upset and have health complications.
I dont know what to do as I dont want any stigma since I intend to get married as per my parents wishes.
Plz help

Marriage in the Arya Samaj Mandir is valid.
If he agree, file mutual consent divorce and can get rid of the relation legally.

1) Legally no other option than to go for a divorce.
2) He can not force you for divorce.
3) Without divorce, you shall not be entitled to get married to someone else.
Unfortunately no other way out for you as per the Law.
