Husband makes false accusations after 21 years — what now?

I have been married for 21 years. For the last 9 years, my husband has been making obscene false allegations against me. I manage the household and children alone, but he lives with us and doesn’t take responsibility. He becomes violent if I protest. Please give proper legal advice.

You can file for divorce on grounds of cruelty. If your husband is abusive and making false allegations, file a complaint under the Domestic Violence Act. You can also seek protection, maintenance, and custody of your children. Legal aid is available if you cannot afford a lawyer. Don’t tolerate abuse, you have rights.
