Hi, In addition to the case history below, I got Whatsapp msg from my Wife on 8th Oct 2016, she informed her unwillingness to continue the matrimonial relationship. Also she mentioned, she would want to live with her parents and never comeback to join the matrimonial house. she is refusing to give the divorce. I replied her saying, i would want to meet her and reconcile directly. but she asked me not to meet her. Then i told, i will visit her place in next weekend to talk to her. When me and my father visited to her parents place, my wife and her parents were not available. the Maid in the house informed us that, they left to someplace in the morning. Me and my father waited their for around 3 hours but they dint turn up. As i was unable to make a contact with her, I sent a legal notice on 7th Nov 2016 asking her to rejoin the matrimonial relationship with the baby. I also gave 15 days of time to respond to the lawyer notice. Till today, there is no reply from My wife, or her parents. In this case, should I go for filing RCR, or can I file divorce, What if I file RCR and even then she din't turn up. (the Marriage is 1.5 yrs old - May 2015 to Nov 2016) Kindly suggest on this. ---------------------------------------------- I would like to sincerely thank you all for providing valuable suggestions for my previous question (below). Case History. Sending notice to wife to come back Hi I got married on 15th May 2015, things were fine till July 2015. In July my wife went to her parents house to write her 2nd year degree exams.

Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
1) even if you file RCR and obtain decree you cannot force wife to stay with you
2) RCR would take around 5 years to be disposed of
3) if wife refuses to return to her matrimonial home file for divorce on grounds of mental cruelty
4) refusal to stay with husband amounts to mental cruelty
1. File for RCR and watch her reaction to the RCR and if she doesn't join you inspite of an order under RCR, then you can use that as the ground for obtaining divorce from her.
2. If you are not inclined to continue the marital life better to convince your wife to accept Mutual Consent Divorce wherein the separation shall not be tiresome.
Apply for RCR in Bangalore, and ask your wife to come and join you in order to restore your conjugal rights. If she fails to appear in court or is placed ex-parte, then you will get an ex-parte order against your wife.
Wait for 1 year and then file for divorce here in Bangalore. Pretty much by then it will be definite if your wife really wants a divorce from you or not.
1. You have sent her the legal notice, to which she has not replied. You are free now to file RCR but remember that no court can force her to come and reside with you in her matrimonial home. However, RCR is a declaration of bona fide conduct.
2. You are also free to file a petition for child custody to get custody or access to your child.
You can file a divorce case on the grounds of cruelty and desertion or voluntary abandonment of matrimonial home without any sufficient cause or reason.
Besides you file a child custody case too along with an application for visitation rights.
All these legal cases agaisnt her would put pressure on her and she may come down for negotiation or compromise out of court.
