I’m a 42-year-old man, married for 17 years. My wife, who is 35, and I have a 14-year-old daughter. We’ve been living in the same house separately for the past 3-4 years. I run a small business, and my wife works. She prepares breakfast for herself, leaves for work at 9 AM, and comes home around 9 PM, sometimes under the influence of alcohol. She eats dinner and sleeps in a separate room with our daughter, keeping the door closed. She consistently ignores me, and when relatives visit, she treats them rudely with harsh words. I need help navigating this situation.

Based on your description, you are experiencing significant marital discord. Under Indian law, separation for a prolonged period without reconciliation, coupled with your wife’s behavior, could be grounds for seeking a legal separation or divorce. You should consult with a lawyer specializing in family law to understand your specific rights and options in this situation.
