You have the right to file a unilateral divorce petition in the court if your husband is unwilling to divorce; you can state reasons like cruelty with some mental angle, under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. Document instances of mental abuse and threats supporting your case. The court can order proof of the marital breakup, but if he will not respond to the petition, the process can continue without his permission. Talk with a lawyer and receive his guidance for navigating this process as well as for the protection of your rights during it.
