Reading: My wife left our home almost a year ago, saying my parents were the reason. When we tried to talk to her family last June, they were very angry and even shouted at us. Then, she filed a case against us in July. A month later, her father came to us suggesting we try to resolve the situation. But she still refuses to go to the police station to sign any documents and settle this. Can I file for divorce based on this, and what are the chances of it being successful?

Under Indian law, you can file for divorce based on “desertion” if your wife has left your home without a valid reason and has refused to return for a year. However, the court will consider all factors, including your parents’ role in the situation and the communication with her family. It’s crucial to have evidence of your attempts to reconcile and her refusal to participate in resolving the matter.
