In India, you can file for divorce on grounds of desertion if your wife has been living separately for at least two years without justification. You can also explore options for a mutual divorce, which requires both parties’ consent. You can seek legal advice to understand your rights and options regarding alimony and property division in this situation.

Next Article My father and his close friend built two identical houses with a shared wall in 1988. Sadly, my father passed away, and his friend wants to sell his house to someone else. We don’t want a new co-owner, so we offered him 12 lakhs to buy his house. However, he refused because a real estate agent found a buyer willing to pay 15 lakhs. The government assessed our house value at 5 lakhs when we took a bank loan. Is there any way we can still buy his house for 12 lakhs? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
