In India, you can seek divorce on grounds of mental cruelty, which includes your wife’s self-harm, emotional abuse, and financial demands. You can also explore grounds like “unsound mind” if her mental health issues significantly impact your marital life. However, it’s crucial to consult a lawyer to understand the specific legal requirements and evidence needed for your case.
