Sir, the wife can file for divorce on the grounds of cruelty. She should seek maintenance for herself and the child. Filing a Domestic Violence case under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act can secure protection and residence rights. Consulting a family lawyer is essential for proper guidance and support. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
