My husband was never happy with our arranged marriage and yet my family forced me to compromise. I tried and pulled it for 17 years (until 2018) and have 3 children. Since 2016 we have had no intimate relationship. He is not paying any kind of maintenance since 2018 nor he wants custody of any of the children. I applied for <em>khul\u2019a<\/em>, but he is asking for the house and jewellery that is mine, not from his money, as I too was working as a teacher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The imam of one of the idara in Mumbai supported him and asked me to return the house and jewellery as I have no evidence that I paid for it (it is in my name) being a good wife and trying to save my marriage in all possible ways I handed the house deal to my husband during the time of purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">My divorce case is going on in Mumbai court since 2019, but nothing is done yet, as my husband does not appear in court and due to all the lockdowns and things like that, no action is being taken against him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">He is quite a rich man, holding 4-5 properties in his name in south Mumbai. All I want is a divorce\/ <em>khul\u2019a<\/em> from him, as I cannot bear it anymore. He harasses me and my children, by forcefully entering the house. 6 months back he entered the house and beat me to fracture one of my ribs, he bribed the police and shut the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">In the past 6 years we have had no relationship, nor do we speak to each other.

What am I supposed to do? No Mufti or anyone is coming forward to help me. Is my <em>khul\u2019a<\/em> valid? Is he a non-<em>ma<\/em><em>\u1e25<\/em><em>ram<\/em> to me now as he enters forcefully to hit me and takes away things from my house one by one?
