Best option is divorce by mutual consent

2) amicable settlement is best option

3) contested divorce proceedings take 5 years to be disposed of

4) if your wife does not want to stay with you agree for divorce by mutual consent

Dear Client,

Don`t file and agree for MCD and procure evidences that u want her back, send her e - mails, calls, msg etc.

For continuous 2 years desertion, u can file divorce anytime.

Wait and watch , what they upto

Mutual consent to divorce would be far better than the contested decree. It will not affect the interest of any party if both of you willing to part away. In case, if u refused to give consent to divorce, she may file a forged criminal complaint against you for domestic violence and dowry harassment. If that happened, it will give much harassment to you. At the same time, if she file a petition to divorce on the ground of cruelty or on any other ground, she should assign the reason for divorce, for made out the same she may plead such false averments against you in that petition. If you are also intended to give divorce then go with mutual consent it would be better choice.

Firstly, I advice you to not to wait for them to file the divorce.

Secondly, you should yourself file a case of divorce on the ground of desertion so you won’t have to pay any alimony also.

Thirdly, going for the mutual divorce may compel you to pay also if any conditions been put there.

It does not matter at all if it is divorce by mutual consent or otherwise. However, if you opt for divorce by mutual consent, it may take less time and efforts.

Sir amicable settling divorce is better option if you go by contested there can be number of false cases and it takes lot of time,

Now see even if you want to live with her you cannot force her and it is unfortunate but true that Indian law some where down the line favour women.

So to settle it before filing divorce ask them to make an agreement MOU wherein she will agree that there was no domestic violence dowry, she do not want any maintenance or alimony she by her will and you by your free will taking divorce there shall be no legal allegation and cases relating to this martial relationship will be there.

If they sign an agreement this will safe guard your interest further file first motion jointly then there is time of 6 months if you find anything contrary before second motion and finalisation of decree you can withdraw consent,

Hi,

In case of Mutual consent divorce, all the things will be solved at the time of second motion, but you may agree for that after sometime only.

If you want to give divorce then you can proceed further for mutual consent of divorce under section 13b of the Hindu Marriage Act. Before moving any petition for mutual consent of divorce you should ask them to prepare and agreement that no personal allegation will be made against you and also no criminal or civil case will be find against you. After passing of the mutual consent divorce your wife will no longer be entitled for maintenance either under section 125 of the code of criminal procedure or under the Hindu Marriage Act.

Grounds of divorce as mentioned in section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act are based upon the guilt theory. Therefore you are bound to prove that there is guilt of your wife. This will take much time then the mutual consent of divorce for granting of decree. Mutual consent of divorce does not based upon field theory therefore parties are not bound to produce any evidence and also Court will pass the decree after lapse of two motions.

Hi

If at all , you wish to divorce your wife, Mutual consent divorce is the best option as Mutual consent divorce is granted without parties accusing each other and no monetary demand made by the wife.

Contested divorce might take about 3-4 years where as mutual consent divorce will be settled in 6 months.

It also appears from your query that you are not to be blamed for divorce and hence you have every right for contested divorce.

But you also should keep in mind that law cannot force a woman to live with her husband(actress sarita case) and also that indian women resort to filing false dowry cases, domestic violence cases etc just to coerce the husband to give assent to mutual consent, it is advisable to look at your own facts and you should be able to decide which option is best suited for you.

This is totally your Idea if you don't wish to go for mutual consent divorce let it be contested divorce petition, file a divorce petition in the family court on the basis of desertion, cruelity and non compatibility against your wife and pray for the divorce.

1) You can file RCR case in the court and tell your wife that you want to stay with her together.

2) If she insists for Mutual Consent Divorce you can ask from her one time settlement amount 25 lacs as she has cheated you and you are in under mentally tortured by your wife.

What is the reason that she does not wants to live with you, is there any marital issue between you

However, what is your worry about the possibilities of damage to you if they file mutual consent divorce?

Actually mutual consent divorce is the smoothest form of divorce and if there are no more chances for a cordial conjugal relationship there is no use in continuing the dead marriage.

You can decide about continuing it if you hope that she may return to the matrimonial fold anytime in the future, but remember that even if you get a RCR decree in your favor, you cannot force your unwilling wife to live with you.

If there's a mutual divorce, I don't think they'll be maligning your image post divorce; but sinve you aren't ready for it, not need to give your consent for mutual divorce.

I'll advise you to file a petition for restitution of conjugal rights so that you may strengthen your stand and dampen theirs.

Respected sir...

In each and every case where you want to to get apart from your spouse mutual consent divorce is the best way as it is laid down under section 13-B of Hindu marriage act 1955 . sir in this you will not have to face any problem it is a just simple procedure which lays down a simple procedure of divorce and avoid harassment of both the parties ...just go and get the divorce decree under section 13-B of HMA ....

Thank you

First of all u can file a petition for Restitution of Conjugal Rights. Then they will file for divoce by themselves. There will be no valid grounds for divorce for them. stick to RCR.
