        Hello guys,

        My friend is seeking guidance on how to navigate a difficult situation in her marriage. After experiencing domestic violence and emotional distress, she temporarily stayed with her parents for a month. Upon returning to her city, she attempted to reconcile with her husband, but he refused to meet or return home, despite living in the same city.Her husband has consistently blamed her for minor issues, such as not waking up early, not looking good, and not cooking (despite being employed and having a cook). He has also expressed discomfort with her maintaining a healthy relationship with her parents and sisters, whom she contacts only once or twice a week. Notably, they share all expenses, including their home.Given the domestic violence and ongoing harassment, my friend wishes to separate from her husband. However, he refuses to grant her a divorce. He calls every now and then to have a complete blame game conversation and put instigating allegations. Furthermore, his family continues to monitor my friend’s activities and insult her family.
        We are seeking advice on the ideal location to file a complaint and the specific complaint that should be filed. Please provide guidance on the next steps my friend can take to protect herself and seek justice.

          Why is she looking for a consent from her current husband on divorce? Given circumstances, she should fill a legal case of seperation. Living single is far better than living married with perks of these domestic violence and hatred from in-laws.

              She is not, she asked for what he wants to do in future and he says he wants to live separately but won’t give her divorce. Hence she is planning to go ahead and file it.

                  I see. She should start the process straight away. That person is just holding her from living a happy life.
