• No inter course with wife after 3 years of marriage

I have very different case where I don't have inter course with my wife even after 3 years of my marriage. She just avoids me giving different reasons when I asked her to do so. Society is believing that I am impotent and hence we don't have children till now. When her parents contacted my parents through a third party to settle this issue, she said that she is willing to stay with me and agreed to bare children. But in the course of time it didn't happen as she is behaving like earlier as she is unwilling to do inter course. When my parents and well wishers asked her about this, she just replies that she likes me a lot. I really don't have any answer for her behavior. If this behavior continues, I may not have children and so our family don't have a heir. I am aged 31 now and wanted to file a divorce. Please suggest me how to proceed and if any compensations will be levied on me for filing a divorce.

Dear Sir,

Denial of Sex to Husband for long time without any sufficient Cause amounts to Mental Cruelty; SC grants Divorce [Read the Judgment]...

A Supreme Court bench comprising of Justice S.J. Mukhopadhayaya and Justice Prafulla C. Pant, in a judgment delivered yesterday, upheld dissolution of marriage between the parties, on the grounds of denial of sex as amounting to mental cruelty....

The Court observed, “Undoubtedly, not allowing a spouse for a long time, to have sexual intercourse by his or her partner, without sufficient reason, itself amounts mental cruelty to such spouse. A Bench of Three Judges of this Court in Samar Ghosh vs. Jaya Ghosh (2007) 4 SCC 511 has enumerated some of the illustrations of mental cruelty.”

Which happens within four wall of room can not be proved directly by evidence or witness. Contradiction of statement of both parties and probable reasons for such denial on part of one spouse alongwith other relevant facts and circumstaces during that space of time would only be the key consideration for court to come to a conclusion as to the truth with a reasonable degree of probability.

Dear Sir,

The oral evidence is sufficient. No need of evidence.

oral evidence. spoken testimony given by witnesses in court, usually under oath. 

The law of evidence, also known as the rules of evidence, encompasses the rules and legal principles that govern the proof of facts in a legal proceeding. These rules determine what evidence must or must not be considered by the trier of fact in reaching its decision.

You can file a contested divorce case on the grounds of cruelty and non consummation of marriage. 

The compensation or maintenance will depend on her claim and upon proving your income with substantial documentary evidences.

You don't have to prove non consummation of marriage with documentary evidences only. 

You can make the pleadings in the divorce petition and argue on it to convince the court,  let she deny your allegations. 

The court will decide after hearing both the sides.

Dear

You can file divorce on ground of non consummation of marriage even after three years and mental cruelty because denying physical relationship to spouse also a type of mental cruelty.

You may have to give monthly maintenance to your wife in case she files case for maintenance.
