My cousin is married to a guy since 8 yrs. After marriage that guy just did the physical thing 2-3 times without using a protection and gave a daughter in the 10th month of the marriage..
At the time of pregnancy no one helped her in household works and her husband never even talked to her about how she is getting thru with it... When her labor pain started her Mother-in-Law started shouting at her that she is just creating a scene to tell the people in the locality that her Mother-in-Law is not taking care of her.. When the baby was Born her husband just came from the office to see her & sat not more then 2 mins & then went away like a relative who visited...
Now from past 8 yrs that guy just does not show any interest in my cousin. He does not even come to the bed room or use the same bathroom that she is using.. He sleeps in the guest room & uses the guest bathroom....
Even in last 8 yrs My cousin don't know what is his monthly salary as he never talked to her about anything which a Wife should know.
That guy insults her at every point of time in front of everyone saying that "What do you have so special that someone would want to sleep with you.." Sometimes he had shouted in front of the whole locality & her father was standing thr but no one said anything to him..
From past 8 yrs, He never sat 8 mins with her to drink a cup of tea or to have food or to even talk to her casually. And when she complained about this to her in-laws they say that If he would waste so much time with You then who will earn money for them..
Now her daughter is 7 yrs & she understands everything.. She hates her father & don't want to live with her grandparents or father.. She asks my cousin that anyhow they must do something to go away from them as she thinks that Her father cannot love her mother as her friends parents do to each other..
You can imagine what that little child sees everyday & what is happening to her little mind...
Now when she decided to take a Divorce, Her father & brother are very much upset with her as they are thinking that they have to give the money to the lawyer...
They say that if she wants to live separate she must send the daughter to her in-laws & would live with them as they want..
Her brother already told that he won't help her financially or mentally in any case... & all her father's property will be his brother's and she would not ask for anything.. Her younger Brother got married last yr & gave his Mother-in-Law a new Flat as a gift with his father's money when she owns a big house already on her name... but He is not ready to give a single room in his father's house to my Cousin. You can imagine what she must be going thru now.
Her father never allowed her to go out of the house even to meet a friend so she has become a dependent type lady & is not working so she is financially also not independent...
Now we don't know what to do and how to proceed so that her parents would support her... & everyone else in the relatives are just trying to send her back to her in-laws, giving her wrong info about divorce laws & child custody laws so that she would give-up..
She is too much in depression & seeing her helpless & not able to help her, I am also getting into depression...
Plz guys Tell me what to do....
