Dear Concern,
Let's discuss first thing first -
A. Can you file a divorce case in against your wife?
Answer - As per the Hindu law, no person can file a case of divorce before their marriage has completed a year. Your marriage was solemnized in July 2017 so to move for the divorce you have to wait till July 2018.
B. What are the possibilities of interim maintenance?
Answer - The way family court works this case is bound to come up against you. There are only three ways to avoid this case -
(i) In case you prove that your wife is engaged with someone else as well ie she is having an extra-marital affairs,
(ii) In case you prove that your wife has sufficient means to live on her own or she is so qualified that by the way of common prudence of law she should not be given maintenance at all, or
(iii) In case you prove that you have a lot of liabilities on yourself and you have very counted means to survive. In this the quantum of maintenance may be decided very low possibly in between 1 thousand to 5 thousand per month but it is not going to become zero as it would become in above two cases.
C. Will RCR will be helpful to you?
Answer - I don't think so. A girl who can't determine good and bad on her own is a disaster. She will be always dependent on her mother and will never be helpful to you in your entire life. A marriage is just not a relationship its a promise to lead a life together no matter what. If her thinking remains influenced with her mother she will be never be helpful to you and your family in your difficult days. She won't be contributing to your life on any occasion except being your legally wedded wife and in future mother of your children.
D. Are you responsible to pay fees to her lawyer if you go for Divorce?
Answer - No. But as per the law you will have to pay her litigation expense as it is you who is asking for divorce and not her. The litigation expense is to be fixed by the Court. You need to argue on this point making it as low as it is possible.
E. How are you supposed to go forward with your life?
Answer - You should come before the court for divorce after the completion of a year in July and shall collect all possible evidences to prove your wife to be wrong. You do not need permission from the court to have CCTV cameras in your home. Its your home you can do whatever you want.
Crucial evidences would be -
(i) All call records which proves your wife to be reluctant to come back.
(ii) All proof which proves that your wife is cruel to you and is heavily influenced by her mother who is equally cruel and the root cause of all the problem.
(iii) All proof which establishes the fact that you have tried to reconcile with your wife but that has gone in vain.
(iv) All proof which establishes the fact that you own nothing of your wife and that all her jewelry, articles etc is with her and not with you.
