What are the advantages and disadvantages of a wife obtaining a divorce without her husband’s participation in India? How does one go about getting the divorce certificate in such a scenario?

In India, a wife can obtain a divorce without her husband’s participation if he abandons her, is missing, or is mentally unsound, but the process is lengthy and complex. The advantage is a swift resolution, but the disadvantage is the potential for unfairness. The wife must file a divorce petition and present strong evidence to the court to obtain a decree, which then serves as the divorce certificate.
