Dear Forum,
My marriage was a choice Love marriage and I have registered it under Marriage Celebrated in other forms of the Special Marriage Act. I was Married in Feb, 2007.
After 3 years of successful marriage, I found that my husband was in affair with another lady which resulted in domestic violence from him and I was forced to approach the All Women's Police station to resolve the issue. Last year 2011, March, I was sperated from my husband as a result, because I no longer could tolerate his acts.During the seperation, he claimed all the household articles like TV, FRidge, Music system, other household items and bike and I readily accepted to give him everything. All those articles were brought jointly by both of us, but I gave it to him hoping that he may come back to me. But that never happened.
Two months back, I received a divorce notice from him stating that due to my physical ailment-Epilepsy, he has issued that I am not fit to lead a healthy s*xual family life hence applying for divorce. I had a difference of opinion in the notice and I have also replied to the notice.
Now my question is,
1) He has not responded to my response till date
2) It is more than a year we separated. I take care of my expenses and lead a simple life
3) Now should I wait until he respond or what should I do?
4) Can I claim for ailmony? I dont have any children
Pls do guide me with this regard. Thanks in advance
