Divorce

Hello,

I am in need of help for my cousin. She got married about  months back. Right from the beginning of the marriage there has been problems in her in laws house. The husband and mother are very money minded and they constantly keep demanding money from my cousin.

Husband is a drunkard, he comes home drunk everyday and ask some embarassing questions to her about her character. He is very irresponsible and passes comments on her physcial appearance etc...

My cousin is on the verge of going into a depression because of this her health has taken a beating. She has returned to her mothers house and is staying with mother for the last one month. Now she wants to end this marriage and file for divorce.

Please advise what should she do now.

Thanks

Sunil

Divorce within a year of marriage can be claimed if exceptional hardship is shown.
