Hi, I am stuck in my marriage relationship for some time now.
I had an arranged marriage to a girl we knew in our family. She had lost her father and her mother begged me to marry her and give her a life.
I agreed because I knew her. Only recently I realized that she doesn’t love me at all.
I earn Rs 30,000 a month and we stay in my father’s 1BHK flat which he has shared in my name.
She wants a share of my property and wants to separate me from my family.
She is now threatening to divorce me and file a complaint against my parents and me for forcing her into marriage.
Her mother is also quiet and doesn’t interfere. My parents are very troubled. They can’t do anything and I am feeling stuck.
If I have to divorce her, I will have to pay her money which I can’t afford. Also I cannot stay with her because she doesn’t want to live with us.
She only wants my money. How to solve this problem? I don’t understand. Please help.
Ans: Dear AD, Kindly consult a good lawyer who is unbiased about divorce and client rights if divorce is the path that you want to take.
Lawyers on both sides can strike a good agreement and it can be settled through mutual consent.
If you want to settle the matter amicably and continue live under the same roof, I guess it requires everyone to set aside their differences and talk about it; and I only hope for your sake that, that can happen.
Whichever the path, never tread on the path of helplessness. Instead move to a space that empowers you in any which way.
Best wishes as always!
