Hello,

All these things on her part amount to mental cruelty and you can take divorce on the said ground. File a petition on the ground of cruelity as per section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act.

File the same after one year of marriage.

Contact a local lawyer.

Dear Sir,

Why unnecessarily waiting for her. You will get divorce immediately on the ground of DESERTION. i will draft a Legal Notice for you and draft Divorce petition. I am retired Judge and you get service from me. The word desertion is defined as under: Please call me.

Concept and elements of desertion

Section 13(1) (ib) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 deals with desertion as a ground for divorce and the explanation of the same reads: “The expression “desertion” means the desertion of the petitioner by the other party to the marriage without reasonable cause and without the consent of or against the wish of such party, and includes the willful neglect of the petitioner by the other party to the marriage, and its grammatical variations and cognate expressions shall be construed accordingly”. There are mainly four basic elements which are primarily to be satisfied to constitute desertion. The first two are to be present in the deserting spouse.

Sir if she's not ready to live with you you have two options to fIle for conjugal rights and if she refuses to stay you can claim divorce but it's lengthy procedure. Other ground can be on cruelty mental cruelty you can seek divorce. But again you should have some proof regarding her mental ill health.

In my view you should go by way of first giving restitution notice if she donot turn up (which she will not as ur problem suggest) then file for restitution of conjugal rights in family court. There shall be mediation from court end which if there nothing between you.will ultimately be futile . Then file.for.divorce by gng this procedure you will be safe in case some complaints or case are filed on you.

First of all Doctor's job is to treat his patient and not to suggest people take divorce. If at all you are not successful in taking mutual divorce you may file a divorce petition in Court on grounds of mental illness. You will get the divorce but after fighting a time taking legal battle. Keep in mind before filing for divorce that you will have to give her maintenance if she files for alimony.

1. Well, for whatever reason she does not seem to be ready for passing paritallife with you normally.

2.If she has psychological problem then the problem would not be resolved anytime soon.

3. So talk to them and ask for mutual divorce on payment of permanent alimony as divorce without any money may not be agreeable to them at all.

4.If they still does not agree then you will have to file suit for contested divorce which takes lot of time and she may file criminal cases in retaliation also.

5. if she files 498A case there is nothing to worry as in such cases you should get bail very easily.

If your marriage was not consummated then you may file a petition seeking to annul the marriage within one year from the date of marriage or from the date of knowledge.

You can state that she is impotent in the annulment petition.

Dont wait for one year period and also for her willingness for mutual consent divorce

You have to swing into action immediately without further delay
