A divorce petition has to be filed in the district court.the grounds for divorce have to be specifically stated in the petition. The grounds you have stated are not sufficient so as to grant you the relief prayed for. The court will most likely send the matter for mediation. You would have to state very strong grounds in orde rti geta  speedy divorce.

This is not a strong ground for seeking divorce.

You may have to add certain other strong ingredients depicting her acts of cruelty if yo are serious about dissolving your marriage by a decree of divorce.

You can discuss with a local advocate and move forward on the basis of suggestions received.

This is my response to you:

1. Firstly you will have to obtain judicial separation;

2. Then you can apply for divorce provided your marriage is more than 1 year old;

3. You can also seek mutual consent divorce instead of contested divorce;

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that whatever your wife has been doing/ behaving and her mother talks, all are cruelity on you which is one of the ground of divorce as per Indian Family Law.
  2. I advice you to have records of all these talks or messages, and then go for the divorce on the ground of the same.
  3. As these would help you, if you file divorce petition before they may file any complain against you.
  4. This is what people been doing, by filing false cases against the groom to harass him and his family.
  5. Once you have filed divorce prior to her complain of any nature, then you can say that the complaints are counter blast on you, and those proofs of recording or messages would help you for sure.
