Cruelty, Mental or physical is a valid ground for divorce in religious as well as secular laws in India. Section 13 of The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 provides for dissolution of a marriage by a divorce based on several grounds, and one of them is cruelty. Section 27 of The Special Marriage Act, 1954 provides for the grounds of divorce and it also talks about cruelty in marriage. By Cruelty, we think an act of physical violence against a person by another but it also includes any kind of emotional and mental harassment or pressure and is a valid ground for getting a divorce decree passed by the court having jurisdiction in India. To judge an act of cruelty, it is important to see the effect of such an act and if the effect is either of harm, distress, trauma or insult the act is a cruel act. You must hire a divorce attorney to know about the concept of cruelty and about the divorce procedure, that is to be followed further. Physical violence is not the mere ground for divorce but mental cruelty that may include verbal abuses and filthy language which will lead to cause a mental disturbance to the victim is also a ground for divorce in India.

 A contested divorce is where one spouse wishes to dissolve the marriage based on the acts of the other spouse. First, you must:

  1. File a divorce petition in a family court with appropriate jurisdiction
  2. Summons will be issued to the other spouse
  3. A written statement from the spouse should be provided
  4. Evidence will be dealt with
  5. Arguments will take place between the parties
  6. The final divorce decree will be passed.

Greetings!

Section 9 of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (HMA) provides for restitution of conjugal rights (RCR). It states that if one of the spouses abandons the other without any reasonable cause, the aggrieved party has a legal right to file a petition in the matrimonial court for restitution of conjugal rights.

Since you wanted to get separated from husband RCR does not grant you the relief that you are seeking. The Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 governs the regulations related to marriage and divorce Law. The nine recognized grounds are laid out in section 13(1) which can be used by any spouse to file the action. For your reference they are mentioned below;

  • Adultery
  • Cruelty
  • Conversion
  • Desertion
  • Insanity 
  • Leprosy
  • Presumption of Death
  • Renunciation
  • Venereal Diseases


the applicable ground your regard is "Cruelty" along with the divorce it is wise to file a custody case for the custody of your child as well with that the maintenance claim can be made. According to recent Supreme Court judgment it was held a father has an obligation to pay maintenance and take care of the upbringing of his child until they reach the age of majority. Urvashi Aggarwal v. Inderpaul Aggarwal .
