Sir, If you feel your wife is having affair with another guy, then file the contested divorce petition if she is playing with you by stating in the mahila commission that you forced her to sign on the mutual agreement. further, she is not appearing in the court, the court will not grant the mutual consent divorce because as per the Hindu Marriage Act, both- husband and wife needs to be present physically in the court for the success of the second motion of the divorce otherwise the petition goes.

Further, you may file a complaint with the local police station as per your knowledge of the extra marital affair of your wife. Let the police investigate and bring evidence enabling you to file a divorce petition on grounds of cruelty, adultery, dessertion and irretrievable breakdown of marriage. This LAW favours husbands as well so please use it.

has the women commission issued any notice to you. if not then why should you worry. whether the mutual consent petition is forced or not can be determined by the family court when the stage for evidence arises. don't worry. pursue the case. inform the womens' commission of the pendency of matter in family court. she cant re-sile from her statement made on affidavit before the court of law.

1) your duty is to draw attention of mahila commission to pendency of case in family court for mutual consent divorce .

2) enclose copy of petition filed by both the parties . the affidavit filed by your wife in family court .

3) the issue as to whether your wife was forced to sign petition or not would be decided by family court .

4) filing in mahila commission is dilatory tactics of your wife only .

5) dont panic . have patience . mahila commission will not take any action in pending court case before family court
