Details: The marriage happened in India in June 2006. Both the boy and the girl don't have good terms right from day one of their marriage and are living separately for the past four and half years. The girl is in India and works in an engineering college as lecturer and the boy is working in USA. The girl is very adamant, reckless and used to harass, torture the boy every day after their marriage. She doesn't care for his parents and his family. She is a total mess. The boy tried to adjust a lot for almost 3 years and finally gave up afer unsuccessful attempts to make her be good to him and his family. Now, he wants to get divorced. The girl is not willing to divorce and wants to see that the boy suffers through out. Can you please suggest what are the good options for the boy to seek divorce while he is still in USA. Considering that Indian law is more protective for women, please advice what would be better steps that the boy has to follow to get a successful divorce with out having to suffer. Its too pity that indian law does not acknowlegde the fact that not every woman is good.

Just file for divorce in the U.S. Even if she does not show up for the proceedings, that divorce would be valid in India.

However, you run the risk of she or your in-laws filing a fake dowry case against you and your parents in India.
