Issue wife legal notice to return to her matrimonial home
) File peititon for restitution of conjugal rights under section 9 of HMA
Hi Me and my wife had ego clashes for almost 3 months now. We abused each other verbally. She walked away from our home. I don't know where she is residing now but for sure she is coming to office daily when I enquired about her in her office. I tried reaching her by various possible ways. I even made a complaint to nearest police station to restore our relationship. But she didn't turn up. She is 8 month pregnant. she said she is in her home town and can't come to police station. Police couldn't force her to come for councelling considering her health. But I'm pretty sure she is residing nearby her office and not in her hometown. Because I visited her hometown and checked if she is there but their parents and relatives attempt to hit me for going there. I don't know what to do now, I want to live with her happily ever. I am concerned that they won't allow me to see her and my kid due for next month.

See visit her office first nicely so that no scene is created and no further differences between you two occur. if that is not possible file a restitution petition serve the notice seek mediation and try to talk to your wife.

Thanks everyone. I have sent a legal notice and will be filing restitution in few days. Is their a way I can be with her during delivery. I went to her hometown but her relatives threatened to beat me for being there and didn't tell me where she is. I couldn't get in touch with her at all.
You do not have to go and meet her personally once you have send the legal notice to her.
After your case is admitted in the court, she will be sent notices from the court and would have to appear before the court.
See if they are not allowing and wife doesn't wish to be with you at this point time there is no way around other then trying personally as even court cannot force her.
