My wife frequently leaves our home without informing me, often for extended periods. Her father is battling cancer, but his wife, a doctor and financially secure, could easily manage with a nurse or attendant. Despite this, my wife travels every weekend or for ten days each month, taking our three-year-old daughter with her. The constant travel disrupts our daughter’s education, well-being, and even her health. We’ve tried everything – advice from friends, family, even counseling – but she doesn’t listen. My parents are helping with our daughter, but she’s away from me on weekends. My wife is also struggling with depression and hormonal issues, which leads to volatile reactions and affects our daughter’s mental state. I’ve been enduring this, but now our daughter’s schooling is at risk. We have school interviews, and my wife refuses to help or take responsibility. I’m at my wit’s end.

Indian law prioritizes the child’s welfare. Your wife’s frequent absences, especially without your consent, impacting your daughter’s education and well-being, could be considered a breach of parental duty under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890. Consulting a lawyer and considering legal recourse to ensure your daughter’s needs are met is advisable.
