My heart is torn. I’m married, but deeply in love with someone else. I want to start a new life with her, but my wife won’t agree to a divorce. She’s even filed legal cases against me. My parents are also pressuring me to stay with my wife, but that’s not an option. I’m at a crossroads, and I don’t know what to do. Please advise me.

In India, divorce is a legal process requiring both spouses’ consent or grounds for divorce like adultery, cruelty, or desertion. Filing for divorce based on mutual consent requires both spouses’ willingness to end the marriage. However, your wife’s refusal and legal cases create a complex situation. You should seek legal counsel to understand your options and explore potential solutions, as well as consult with a family therapist to navigate the emotional aspects of this difficult decision.
