I need consultation about whether divorce is a right decision for me not after physical abuse by my husband

Question

It’s been 1 and half years of my marriage my husband has abused me physically he had slapped me and hit me with belt. Although it’s the first time he’s abused me physically but during these 1 and half years of my relationship he has told me 2 or 3 times to leave his home also told me that he’ll leave me due to his doubtful nature or because I’ve disobeyed him. Earlier whenever we argued he used to abandon me, he’d stop talking to me and keep ignoring me as if I don’t saying I’m free to do whatever I want he’ll not disturb me. We live separately because of our jobs.

I’m truly sorry to hear what you’ve experienced. No one deserves to face physical or emotional abuse in marriage. Even a single incident of violence is taken very seriously under Pakistani law, and repeated threats or abandonment can also amount to mental cruelty.

You have several legal options depending on what you wish to do — whether it’s to seek protection and maintenance, file for khula (dissolution of marriage), or pursue criminal action for domestic violence. I can help you assess the safest and most effective course of action while ensuring your rights and dignity are protected.
