Under Indian law, you can file for divorce on grounds of desertion if your wife has been absent for at least two years without reasonable cause. Since it’s been six months, you cannot file for divorce on this ground yet. Consider seeking legal advice to understand your specific situation and explore other grounds for divorce like cruelty or mutual consent.

Previous Article I booked a flat in Noida Extension in 2010, with a revised delivery date of May 2015. The builder offered possession in August 2016, demanding full payment. I have concerns: they charged a higher area rate based on current prices, levied a Rs 70 per square foot farmer compensation without explanation, demanded illogical fees not in the original agreement, and didn’t offer any late penalty. They pressured me to pay, threatening cancellation. I paid under protest, but want to explore legal options. Any advice?
