I was been abused physically and now filed for divorce

 

Hi,

I recently got married in Nov,2011 and it was an arranged marriage through matrimony.Till the date of marriage the boys side were too good.They used to call me each day and used to call me just like their daughter.

Very cleverly they hide boys qualification , their financial status and their son's marriage was already broken before i got married to that guy (boys marriage was broken a week before his marriage has to happen).Even we did not verified much about them and beleived on their face value.

We are a strong financially and conducted a big fat wedding at 5 star even made all arrangements for them and their relatives to stay.After marriage all of a sudden their behaviour got changed.Parents were cribbing upon marriage arrangements , son was cribbing on stuff given to them etc etc.

Then physical abuse started and in one months i was abused physically 6 times and my husband's parents supports them equally and immature to give us solution in our married life.As being parents i feel its there duty to make their son realise what is right and wrong.Even they interfere a lot in there son's financial matters and matters related to home i.e in our day to day life.

After knowing all this my parents brought me to home after 2 months of marriage now we have filed an FIR against them.We have spend money like hell on marriage now my parents are retired and i was working before marriage but due to marriage i left my job in order to change my location after marriage.So at present not working.

I know that i can file for maintenence but what are the chances to get one time alimony from them.As it is it is diificult to sit without job and waste time thinking about past.I want the damage to be claimed and get one time rid from them.And how much time divorce takes usually.

They did not retured the assets we gave to them even.A genune advice is needed.Please throw some light on this.

Directly you cannot ask for permanent alimony.  File maintenance petition u/s 125 of Cr.P.C. in this case you can settle it for the one time settlement.

basavaraj shiromani (Advocate)     13 March 2012

whatever steps you have taken is correct. File a petition for alimony according to your status and standard. For one time settlement also it is possible after filing your petition you can try for it. Regarding divorce petition please consult your advocate. There is no chance to cliam damage, but you can file a complaint for cheating also. Whatever assets taken by them,if it is in the form of document then you can claim them also. Totally your mental stability is appreciable.

You should appoint an advocate from your side in FIR matter and have to file an application in court to get back your stridhan (the articals which were given to you in your marrige) for divorce it will take time court will not consider it before one year of your marriage, you should file 125 Cr.P.C application for maintenance, one time alomony normally given in divorce cases at the time of divorce.

Whatever ur advocate says about 498a etc. Don't file that case. You will also become a liar.

Marriages can fail and people mayn't be compatible. See, if u can file for annulment and move on in life instead of calculating profit and loss and being bitter about people.

We have all the facts and bills with us.And this is not something i want but i deserve.To punish such people is important.They have spoiled the life of 2 girls already.And no girl comes to the conclusion of divorce in 2 months unless something big and wring is done.

Ruchika Anand (HR)     13 March 2012

is annulment possible in India please provide some details on this

COMMENTS

Where the petition for annulment of marriage is filed after 8 years of marriage, such a petition would be barred by time-Sarlabai V.Komal Singh AIR 1991 MP 358.Selectin of bride with total knowledge as regards her defects would  serve as estoppel from arguing that marriage was tainted with fraud.-Ruby Roy v. Sudarsan Roy 1988 Cal.210.

Where mental disorder of the wife was the ground for obtaining divorce, there cannot be a challenge to the grant of alimony on the ground that mental disorder was in existence prior to the marriage and therefore the marriage was  voidable under s. 12(1)(b) -Mukesh Mathur V.Veena Mathur AIR 1989 Raj 97.

Where the annulment is sought on the ground of fraud, details which  the professional match makers supply bear no relevancy as the parties are at liberty to verify the facts.-Deepayan Chatterjee V.Papiya Chatterjee 1990 (1)HLR 113

Ruchika Anand (HR)     17 March 2012

We spend a lottttt over marriage because i wanted to be happy after marriage.....and that guy and there parents made all false promises , qualifications were wrong , hide everything etc.....and abused physically coz he is mentally ill.now i want to get seperated and even they are but what about my belongings there mother are keeping that belongings worth 5 lakh.....they are not willing to return and making false issues over character.

before me he had a girlfriend and he told me he was characterless so he broke up with her , his marriage got fixed somewhere he said girl is characterless.....its easy for them to abuse some one and move on freely.

After marriage he is asking me to get this from my home get that from my home.....isnt it his duty.

Before marriage one stays like a bachelor and spends over himself lead life as and how he wants too.. is he not capable enough to take a responsibility of a girl for 6 months even???????? as generally even girls work today mostly and i am a consultant in accenture

You will think this because you might have seen girls playing cheap games over money.....here i am fighting for my rights....to get stridhan is my right to get maintenance is my right to get alimony is my right...as i was been kept in dark over his misbehaviour n mental attitude.

after spending 28lakhs over marriage and then fight over this is not being materialistic Mr hemant sir.

I am being materialistic with people who are greedy.......teaching them the lesson of harrasment for money...

I am ready to donate my stridhan and alimony to a poor people...but the games these people play with other people sentiments and emotions should be made financially weak.

You might not understand what i am trying to proove here as you are keeping me in the category of people play games over money.
Its all about intensions whether good or bad.

I have prooves , a good lawyer and moveover i am for truth.

what do you call these people who are still looking out for girls for there son through newspapers stating that there son is unmarried...yes i yesterday saw an advertisement in newspaper with the same email id they gave me earlier.
