► I am a 26-year-old housewife. I had a legal love marriage two years ago and a traditional (Vidhi) marriage eight months ago. I have found evidence that my husband has been talking to other girls and hiding it from me. He flirts with them and does not tell them that he is married. I keep asking and begging him to tell me the truth, but he keeps denying any wrongdoing and blames me for his behavior. We've already had arguments about this, and although he promised to change, I keep finding new things that make me doubt him. He has built an image of being a good husband in front of both his and my parents, so no one believes me. Note: I have no financial support and no support from my parents.

Dear Client,

In India, a continuous feeling of pain and betrayal by one partner constitutes mental cruelty. Because you don't have any means of providing financial support, your best option is to seek maintenance as per the law. According to Section 144 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), the husband is obliged to provide maintenance to his wife if the wife is not able to sustain herself financially. You can also seek the help of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act (PWDVA) of 2005. The Act defines emotional abuse and economic abuse and allows the magistrate to issue protection orders and grant monetary relief without the necessity of filing a divorce. Because you have no family support, you are entitled to receive free assistance from the legal aid authorities. It is generally advisable to collect all evidence regarding his conversations and acts carefully. I hope this answer helps. If you have any further query kindly do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you

You can file a case for divorce and also for maintenance. 

Both of which need to be filed immediately and you need to get evidences to justify your claim.

Talking to other girls or being flirtish are not crime till it is healthy, however, it can be a ground for divorce on the ground of cruelty caused by such acts of husband. Talk to husband and make him understand your feelings. Tackle the situation carefully.
