Dear Querist

you may claim your money back and file the divorce petition before the Family Court based on Cruelty U/s 13(1)(ia) of Hindu marriage Act-1955. along with an application of Section 26 of Hindu Marriage Act-1955 for child custody and also file an injunction application before the court for retraining order that without court permission she can not get custody of child from you.

1.If both parties does not agree then mutual divorce can not happen.

2. If that is so then filing contested suit for divorce remains only option.

3. To file the contested suit for divorce the ground would be ground for mental cruelty.

5. The instances of tortures and harassments would be ground for cruelty.

1. MCD petition cannot proceed to a logical conclusion unless both spouses appear in the court on the second motion to reiterate their consent.

2. Since your wife has revoked her consent the only remedy for you now is to file a petition for dissolution of marriage on the ground of cruelty.

If your wife is not confirming the decision to dissolve the marriage by mutual consent during the second motion of the petition pending before court, you cannot compel her to accept it.

Instead allow the petition to be dismissed and file a fresh case of divorce on the grounds of cruelty and desertion.

This drama of mutual consent divorce case and withdrawing the same at the last moment can also be pleaded as ground for cruelty.

If i fill section 13 petition. What is the main ground

You can file a contested divorce petition on the grounds of mental cruelty and desertion.

Withdrawal of mutual consent divorce petition is also a ground for depicting her cruel nature and harassment which would constitute mental cruelty.
