I find too much imagination in your query which is expected to be far from truth. You seem to be suffering from some kind of psychological problem and hence you need medical attention first.

Now if you think that your wife is more compatible then you can get separate from her and even seek divorce from her. After leading life with her 16 years I find no reason why you should feel loss of 16 years. Nobody forced yo to live with her for all those 16 years.

Think what your wife has done. You have married with her, not her mother or sisters so you remain so much concerned about their pasts.

1. What her mother and sisters have done has no legal bearing on your marriage.

2. What your wife did with her boyfriend before marriage is not a legal ground which entitles you to claim divorce. Merely on the basis of doubt no court will grant you divorce.

3. Since your wife is going to join another school it is but obvious that she will be staying there. So this is not a ground on which you can knock at the doors of a court of law to claim divorce.

Hi, if you willing to give divorce to your wife you can file a petition for divorce on the ground of Adultery as your wife has voluntarily sexual intercourse with other person.

2. You can also lodge a police complaint for adultery.

Dear Mr. Amit Das,

Your query has no meaning at all. You say that she married your for cheating you, but whether this will take almost 18 years for you become aware of it while you had been with her all through these married years? Marrying in Jan and child birth in October should not be a problem at all.that too after 17 years. You should discuss about the present problems or continuing offence only. The latest development is the reason for your suspicions on her past behavior too. Her relatives may have had different affairs. If you are aware of her previous affairs what made you not to initiate any action at that time itself?

If you are confirmed of her adulterous life and have evidence for it, you can very well proceed with a divorce case on the same grounds. You cannot recover 17.6 years of loss (?) from her by any means of law.

Hello

1) You can file for divorce on grounds of mental cruelty from your wife. It would not be appropriate to rake up whatever happened in her family that you weren't aware of at the time of marriage as they won't help in your cause for the divorce.

2) Unless you can prove with conclusive proofs you cannot raise her infidelity as cruelty in the petition for divorce.

3) If she is also willing for a divorce it is advisable to file for a mutually consented divorce.

4) Do not think about your loss of 17.6 years as she would also consider herself at a loss for all the years. The question will arise in court as to why you have not initiated any steps or made any complaints all these years. Engage a local lawyer to assist you.

Dear Querist

you can not claim anything from her for your 17.6 years loss but you may file a divorce and live your life with peace if you want, you should try to settle the matter amicably with the help of the elder and relatives and go for MCD.
