A mediation talk in the presence of a professional mediator will do the job. Better hurry because in 80% family matters things gets worse only because they gets guidance on the last moment and by then relationships would have broken. So i recommend u to get a lawyer or professional mediator at the earliest.

Hello,

Please understand that you can not force her to come back. Even if you file a case to that effect and she does not come back then also the execution of the order is difficult.

If you still want to file then a case for restitution of conjugal rights has to be filed under section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act.

Best way is to talk to her and settle the matter mutually and resolve to live together.

Just keep patience and try to know the reason for being adamant.

Try to take her to a councillor to have a session or two to remove the dirt that is in her mind.

Hope by this things will change if not then take legal action and sent a legal notice and file section 9 Restoration of conjugal rights and last could be the divorce petition.

1. Since she is behaving differently since last few days only, it will be prudent on your part to wait for some time, may be even few months to enable her to feel the life without having a proper family.

2. It is not unusal that couple suffer mid life blue at te stage which you are now passing through and they behave in unusual manner.

3. Time is the best medicine in such cases which you should allow her.

4. One very important aspect herein is that if she expresses more s8xual, attention on her, any negligence on your part to attend to her may induce her to think that you are no longer interested on her physically and it might force her to go in mental depression.

Go to her place and try to convince her to come back to home with you after talking out the issue with her. Speak to your in laws too.

If the above setp fails, send her a legal notice.

In case both the above suggested remedies fail, file a petition seeking restitution of conjugal rights in teh Family Court/

If you want to save your marriage, don't go to court and police, etc.

The reason I say this is because usually when you approach court and police, people don't take it lightly and more often it backfires.

Approach a marriage counselor. Talk to your wife and make her agree for a marriage counseling. Talk to your in-laws about her taking marriage counseling.

As a last resort approach a lawyer and file RCR (Restitution of Conjugal Rights).
