See first of all I wife is ready for mutual divorce than that is best so first peruse her for mutual divorce if she doenot agree than you have to file a contested divorce on ground of cruelty under section 13 hindu marriage act in the family court and you have to prove that your wife has caused mental cruelty to you.

Further there can be chance that there are false cases on you filed by your wife when you file for divorce like domestic violence you need ready to contest same.

So I would advise you if you its better to settle with her give her alimony and ask for mutual divorce if not possible we need to contest divorce and it takes time.

Hello,

You can not marry her without taking divorce.

Also, you can only take divorce on the ground as mentioned in the Hindu Marriage Act.

If such grounds are not satisfied in your case then you will have to talk to your wife and obtain mutual consent divorce and then only can you marry her.

1. Nothing you can do now legally since what you are seeking is illegal in the given condition.

2. One can seek decree of divorce on acceptable ground and no one can seek divorce for the fact that you have fallen in love with someone else out on your wedlock.

Go for the divorce procedure and be separate for 6 months to file a divorce petition on compatibility ground. The court will take 6 months to start the proceeding and decree depends upon the appearance of the other party.

Please be ready to pay the maintenance and expenses claimed and allowed by the court.

Without any reason you cannot file a divorce case to dissolve your marriage by a decree of divorce.

1. A marriage can be dissolved on many ground including on mutual consent of both parties.

2. When this is not possible then it has to be dissolved mainly on the ground of mental cruelty.

3. In this case it is not clear whether your marriage has broken due to her tortures or not. If not then divorce can not be granted as in India marriage is considered to be sacrosanct and marital tie is not broken on mere wish of the party.

4. Moreover in your divorce suit if your extra marital affair is proved then you loose chance of divorce for ever.
