1. The court cannot force any one to give or not to give divorce to his/her spouse. It can only decide whether the spouse who files a petition for divorce, is entitled to divorce or not.

2. If you do not want to give divorce then you may contest the divorce proceedings initiated by your wife as and when she initiates it.

3. The court can refer the matter to mediation to reconcile your differences.

4. If your wife does not want to live with you then you cannot force her to do the contrary.

5. If criminal cases are filed against you then contest them on merits.

6. Your wife can also sue you for maintenance.

Dear Querist

there is no law in india for forcing the party to live with each other if she is noy=t ready to live with you then you or the court can not forced her to live with you.

if you are not ready to divorce her then no need to worry, sit tight and if she filed any divorce case then fight the case on merit till Supreme Court.

1. No law of our Country can force her to stay with you if she does not want to,

2. Work with your head and not heart to take matured decision,

3. You should get rid of such marriage where wife wants divorce for no fault ( if the allegation of your not being s*xually capable is not correct) and go for MCD,

4. However, if you still do not want to give her marriage and keep hoping that one day she will return to you, then contest the divorce suit filed by her.
