2. However, if you fail to settle the dispute and she refuses to relent, then negotiate with her and jointly file a mutual consent divorce petition which will be decreed with in 6 & 1/2 months from the date of its filing.

3. You do not have any acceptable reason up till now to show as a ground to file a divorce petition against her.

First ascertain her position and stand on the married life between you both by sending her a legal notice asking her to return to the matrimonial fold or if she is not willing then she may give her consent for mutual consent divorce and if there is no response for this then you shall be constrained to initiate legal process on this as per law.

You can file a divorce case in the place where you got married or the place where you both lived together or where she is currently residing.

You cannot hold her passport for any reason.

A complaint with police about holding her passport and refusing to return may be taken very seriously.

You arrange to return the passport to her under acknowledgment.

Whether the divorce takes place or not you do not have any right over her passport and such reasons that it was agreed to return on a certain date cannot be claimed as an excuse.

Even the court has no power to confiscate anyone's passport other than fr the reasons as stated in the law, so understand the seriousness and avoid getting into any big trouble due to this.

1) you must hand over wife passport to her

2) obtain acknowledgment from wife of receipt of passport

1. It is her passport which you shall have to handover to her whether she agrees for the MCD or not but they can not certainly bring any charge against you for not handing over the same for the reason that she did not arrive on the scheduled day when the articles/documents kept by both the parties belonging to the other side was fixed for exchanging.

2. If you have not kept in record that you are holding her passport or if you think that they have not recorded your telephonic admission that her passport is with you, then you can deny having custody of her said passport.

3. She has not attended on the day of the 2nd motion even when you traveled all the way from UK. So, why do you think that she will arrive on the next scheduled date?

4. Negotiate with her through your said cousin informing her that her passport will be handed over to the said Cousin for returning to her if she attends the 2nd motion and co-operates for getting the decree of MCD.
