My wife doesn’t want to live with my family. Her family threatened and even beat me. She left with them to her father’s house a year ago. What are the grounds for divorce in this situation?

Under Indian law, your wife’s refusal to live with your family, even if her family threatened or beat you, is not a direct ground for divorce. However, cruelty (which includes mental and physical abuse) and desertion are grounds for divorce. If you can prove her family’s actions constitute cruelty towards you, and that her leaving with them amounts to desertion, you can file for divorce on those grounds.
