Reading: My marriage, which began in 2011, has been childless. I had a relationship with a colleague that started in May and my wife found out in September. This led to an altercation and a police complaint filed by my wife for safety and to prevent future incidents. While we reconciled, I still feel distant from my wife and no longer have feelings for her. Without children, it feels like there is no basis for continuing the marriage. What are the best options for me to seek a divorce?

Indian law allows for divorce on grounds of irretrievable breakdown of marriage, cruelty, and desertion. Based on your situation, you may consider filing for divorce on grounds of irretrievable breakdown, citing the breakdown of the marriage due to the infidelity and the subsequent lack of reconciliation. Consult a lawyer for specific legal advice.
