According to the complaint filed at the Women’s Police Station, West, the woman, who holds an MBA degree, married the Vastrapur-based man in November 2021 following traditional customs.
In January 2022, the couple travelled to the Maldives for their honeymoon. The woman alleged that her husband told her that her father had to sponsor the honeymoon, following which her father paid the expenses.
She further alleged that during their first wedding anniversary trip to Dubai in November 2022, and later trips to Hong Kong and Goa in 2023, she was made to bear half the expenses, including hotel bookings.
The woman, who was working at an IT company, also alleged that she was pressured to hand over her salary while being expected to manage household work and care for her in-laws.

She alleged that from early 2025, her husband began maintaining physical and emotional distance and stopped communicating with her.
In October 2025, the husband allegedly told her that he did not want to keep her as his wife, asked her to leave the house and assaulted her while pressuring her to seek a divorce.
The woman also alleged that her mother-in-law supported her son and subjected her to harassment.
