1. If you do not want divorce then let your wife unilaterally file the petition for dissolution of marriage and you can contest it. One who files it has to prove his/her allegations, it is not going to be a cakewalk in the court.

2. If you apprehend that she may take the daughter away in an illegal manner then immediately file a suit for permanent injunction against her in the competent civil court.

Try to reconcile with your wife by involving elders / opinion makers from both sides and impressing upon her the essence of happy conjugal relations .

2. The court will not grant custody of the child to you as baby is too young. However, you will get visitation rights.

Since you do not want divorce then you dispute is to be personally resolved as legal means can not aorth this put.

So you have to talk to her, sit with and resolve it amicably.There is no other way.

You can consider going for holiday in a secluded location which often gives calming effect on marital discord.

You can file suit for custody of child but it will not be given to you.However you will be given visitation rights of the child anyway.

This is the initial stage of your married life and during such initial stage the trivial issues of this nature will dominate and play a pivotal role to create mental disturbances which may cause mental agony and leave a peace-less atmosphere.

At this stage patience is the most important thing to be adopted at least for the sake of the infant child.

She may be adamant and rude but if you introspect you may find lot of fault in your side too.

Se may shout at a fit of anger that she will divorce you etc., such things are common these days because the women feel that they are being discriminated due to male domination or chauvinism

It may take time for her to realise you as well as your importance.

Her parents may be the culprits who sow poison in her mind by frequent ill advises.

if you are against the divorce and want to save the marriage, do not accept her proposal and challenge her move in the court but before that reconcile the differences with her at least for the sake of child and try to pacify her and adjust with her to the feasible extent.

How can i get the custody of my baby if nothing good happens?

As per law the mother gets the custody of the child till the child attains 5 years of age and after that both can approach for a decision about the custody of the child.
