1)Mr.Dinesh as we already had family conversation in Surat (23Nov 2014 last year),regarding some 
misunderstanding that Rajni and your family had for me and for my job. At all point of time we tried our 
level best with full honesty that she should come to Delhi with our family for better future and family 
prospectus as things are not up to mark as both of us have expected as if we would have settled in 
Surat (for which my family have happily permitted).
Finally she didn’t understand and as per wishes of you and your father she willingly gone with you to 
Mumbai. At last your father told that let me( Devinder) go to Delhi and settled by getting job and 
afterward you will be bringing Rajni back to Delhi. Now I have already informed Rajni/you and your 
family, 
that I have got a good job and settled, but we have not got any response from you/Rajni despite of 
promise.

2)Again in Delhi,(23 January 2015),when your father came to our Delhi Home, I and my parents all try 
our level best to make your family understand ,that Rajni should come back to Delhi, as she already 
have 
better job opportunity here, which will be good for both of us for resettling in Delhi,since surat 
doesn’t proved fruitful .Your father again promise that we again try to convince her.We even told 
your father that we are always trying to make phone call to Rajni/her brother Dinesh and other family 
members in Mumbai, But nobody even taking the phone calls, which is not a good indication for clearing 
misunderstanding. Despite of repeated efforts again we have not got any response from Rajni/you and 
from your family

3)Even Today me and my family are waiting for your response, even though no fault of mine , my family 
and me making all our commitments fulfil as demanded by your family. We have tried a lot to make this 
relationship(I,e mine and Rajni) healthier in all respects, but all seems to be in wain. Now matter is 
all in Rajni /you and your family hand.

Hi, if you want to divorce then you file a petition for divorce on the ground of cruelty as your wife is initiating cruelty to you and your family members so on the ground of cruelty you can file a petition for divorce.

Dear Querist

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

if you want to live with her then you may file a matrimonial case u/s 9 of Hindu Marriage Act-1955 before family court for right to conjugal right, if she will not came before court or will not come to live with you after court direction then you may file a divorce case against her before family court based on cruelty and desertion. as per section 13 of Hindu Marriage act-1955.

again try to settle the matter with the help of the elders and relatives, if there is any chance to save this marriage.

1. In the given circumstances you can file for divorce on the ground of cruelty.

2. Your wife will get an opportunity to contest the divorce case filed by you.

3. She can also hit back by filing cases of dowry harassment, domestic violence and assault against you.

4. The court can refer the matter to the mediation cell where an attempt will be made to reconcile the differences, failing which you can continue your divorce petition on merits.
