What legal steps can I take to divorce an irresponsible husband?

My son-in-law left my daughter at my home 60 days ago. He doesn’t earn, and his father-in-law runs a tea shop using him as a front. He has a drinking habit and refuses to work elsewhere. My daughter feels she deserves respect. Can I file for divorce and claim maintenance for my daughter? Do we need evidence against him?

File for divorce under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act if your daughter’s husband is negligent. For maintenance, file a case under Section 144 BNS or Maintenance Act, providing proof of his income and neglect. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
