If she is earning enough to support herself you cannot ask for the maintenance but amatuer consented divorce petition can be contested when the other party is not appearing in the court to get it ex party divorce.

This is your life and you have to decide if you want to stay with this wife I want to go ahead with the divorce

If she earning as well and is capable enough to sustain herself, she is not entitled to any maintenance from you.

You can remarry only once you get divorce.

If she will not turn up for the second motion, the court may at its discretion dismiss the mutual consent divorce petition/

1. if she does not appear on the second date of hearing then you go ahead and file a divorce on the ground of mental cruelty as per the Hindu Marriage Act

If she files a case of maintenance, then you take the defense that she has the capacity to earn and therefore no maintenance be given to her.

There is no ex parte thinng in MCD, if she does not come then the MCD will fail and you will have to file a contested divorce.

Second marriage during the subsistence of the first marriage is an offence nad would not advise you to do so.

Hi,

You are informed that if she is refusing for divorce, the court may not exparte divorce under conditions of mutual consent. You may proceed for divorce on other grounds. Even if she asks maintenance, the same may not be granted. You are suggested to have strong determination to face everything and these things generally don't affect service career except frequent leaves for attending courts.

In case of mutual consent divorce both parties should have equal consensus! Without your wife consent you can't go ahead.Again MCD should not be forceful either any party. You can proceed for divorce on the ground of your wife's adulterous relationship

You cannot force her to give her consent for divorce, if she is not willing to continue with this cae then you can withdraw the same and file a contested divorce case on the grounds of cruelty.

You can prove her employment and salary income which would make her ineligible to claim maintenance.

Without getting divorced you cannot marry another girl, hence you may have to undergo the strenuous and time consuming divorce process.
