Hi, I'm from Erode (Tamil Nadu) and currently working in Bengaluru (Karnataka). My wife and I got married in May 2021 and she became pregnant in April 2022. We were living together in Bangalore, but my wife went to stay with her mother immediately after finding out she was pregnant. Since then, we have had several small quarrels and she has not returned to Bangalore or our native home. Our son was born on February 25, 2023, and currently, my wife and child are still staying with her parents. During a recent visit, my in-laws treated us poorly and did not allow me or my parents to hold or care for our one-month-old son. This caused a huge argument, and now I am hesitant to visit my wife's parents' home. I have a strong desire to be a part of my son's life and raise him from a young age, but my wife often listens to her parents instead of me. My in-laws' home is located in a remote area with inadequate facilities, including education and medical care. Their home is also not well-suited for raising a child, as it is made of cement sheets. I am worried about our son's health and would like to take him for daily walks in his stroller, but my wife is not willing to leave her parents' home. While it is reasonable for my wife to stay with her parents for some time after our son's birth, I am unsure how long this arrangement should continue. When can I legally call her to come to my home in Bangalore with our child so we can be together as a family? I would appreciate any suggestions or options you may have.

3. Inspite of waiting for quite a long time if your wife doesn't co-operate with you, send a legal notice to her to join you in your marital life.
4. If she is unwilling to join you in your marital life, file for Restitution of Conjugal Rights in the jurisdictional Court and based on the Court 's verdict, further legal action can be initiated.
If you want to handle the issue by adopting legal measures the rift between you both will further escalate and you may have to face more problems due to which the situation for reconciliation as well as amicability between you both may not be in sight and it may even push you for long drawn legal battles.
Therefore you can ask elders of both sides to arrange for conciliation meeting and get the problem solved amicably, or you may issue a legal notice demanding her to return to the matrimonial home giving a time period.
Dear client,
I understand that this is a difficult and emotional situation for you. Since you and your wife are currently living separately and your son is staying with her parents, the first step would be to try to communicate and come to a mutual understanding with your wife about your concerns and wishes.
It is important to note that legally, your wife is not obligated to come to your home in Bangalore with your child, as both parents have equal rights to the child's custody. However, you can try to reach a compromise with your wife by discussing your concerns and proposing a plan that works for both of you.
You could consider seeking the assistance of a mediator or a family counselor to help facilitate communication and reach an agreement that is in the best interest of your child. It may also be helpful to consult with a family lawyer to understand your legal rights and options in this situation.
Ultimately, it is important to prioritize the well-being and best interests of your child, and work towards a solution that is beneficial for all parties involved.
