Legal Question in Family Law in India

Hello, I am Rinku, from Assam. I need counselling and legal advice from you. I got married on 18th April 2012 and since the day of my marriage, I have been subjected to emotional and psychological torture by my husband and his parents. At the time of my marriage , I was working in an engineering college, Guwahati as an Astt. Professor of English and he was working in NISG, Guwahati. They completely hide the fact that he is a patient of depression and is on tablets since 2008. After six months of marriage, he left for U.K. and returned on Jan 2014. He moved to Mumbai and started working in WNS, Vikhroli but I only accompanied him in the month of June'14 . Now he is in Qatar since April'15 and suddenly on 29th June'15, he said he is not interested in staying with me and I shouldn't call him anymore. He is also not giving any maintenance amount since then. His parents always verbally, emotionally and psychologically abused me on different pretext. And he acted as their messenger who used to tell me that his parents or so-on-so relative complained about my attire and behaviour. They complained that �Iam not a good bahu�, I am not responsible etc. These complaints started the very next day of the marriage which was a complete arranged marriage. I always remained in a confused state of mind as he pretended to be on my side but never confronted his parents on these issues which most of the time he used to inform me. Now I have realized that they always wanted me to to go out of his life. I am in total shock. How can he just say that he doesn�t want me in his life?? I am totally perplexed and distressed with the fact that he was a fraud who emotionally, psychologically and physically humiliated, tortured and used me. While he was in U.K, his parents, his elder sister and their driver and cook verbally abused me . Once, his sister indirectly hinted that I should take a divorce from him. Even he used to hint that we should separate as his astrologers have said that there is no future for us. At that time I didn�t understand these points but my mind thought that he loves me but his parents detests me. In the first two n half years of marriage ,the doubt on him never became strong as he always acted innocent and helpless. Let me inform you here, that even though we are married for three years but I only stayed with him for 14 and half months as he was all alone in U.K and then in Mumbai. He was never stable in his professional life and was never earning good. And during his U.K. stay, he was jobless. Only now he has landed a decent job in Palladion, Qatar. Now I have understood his game plan. If he would have given divorce to me while he was in India, then there would have been some legal actions against him. That�s the reason that immediately after reaching Doha, he started neglecting my calls and pretended to be very busy in his job. I was working in Mumbai in a school and just for him I left the job in feb�15 and since then I am sitting jobless in Guwahati. As in the beginning, he told me that once he get the Residential Permit, he will bring me to Doha. Now I am at crossroads. I am just horrified at the thought that as a husband how can he leave me like this?? I have never visited a police station in my life and now I am forced to jump in this �legal poodle of divorce.� I am clueless, hopeless, frighten, emotionally exhausted and feeling cheated and betrayed. What should be my next step?? After knowing his true colours, I don�t want to stay with him but I want to give him a strong message that he cannot treat this holy union as a child�s play. Do you know a good lawyer in Guwahati??

Please help me and guide me in this regard.

Thanks.

Regards.

Rinku
