11 month old marriage in this state!!
Just get out of this mess.
You lost her items..........fine!!...write it off from your mind (don't think like builders who think 'less profit is like a loss!')
Aur bhi mouke milenge. to you.
Road ahead is tougher to your wife (as female)
Convince her for mutual consent.
Ensure that consent continuess upto 2nd motion, and upto decree, and upto limitation period for appeal.
I know a guy who took his wife for dinner and made all drama and made her give consent to mutual consent divorce under the garb of 'better future', 'if thoughts don't match Why to fight?' and 'why waste time?', 'We both know all the tricks to harrasse each other if required' but 'why to drop atom bombs on each other? will it serve any purpose? Havn't I returned you all your items honestly? Don't try to squeeze out more...you may get it frankly ....but at what cost?'
Without shouting, word make a lot of difference.
Why Do you think that people wud show sympathy to you? that too for a marriage in such a state in just 11 months?
Who ever bothers to find the truth?.....logically sympathy first goes to female....and it shud.
If u have to gather sympathy..first get cowed down as a drama atleast....
tutunga lekin bilkul nahi zukunga!! won't work here for males. 'sir salamat to pagadi pachas'.
Also Don't start looking for another girl immediately!!! grow your beard instead! have a booze regularly! and things like that....walk around like a devdas for while !! It would help.
If you have guts, Go to your wife and tell her that 'she actually deserved a better husband than you!! and wish her that she gets it." (which unfortunately would hurt her in fact b'cos she knows well that finding a better husband is even tougher....Hence this vengence comes out by women. So is the situation for you.....You wud also get out of 'primary market' of shaadi..probably .......but not as tougher as females still perceive it for themselves...)
Each married woman in india has been given such a variety of legal weapons by the indian laws....ke......wey agar chahenge......... tow husband ko douda douda ke mar sakati hai!! But most of them are very very considerate honestly.
Spiteful attitude can create problems on both sides.....both sides are capable to bounce back.....and capable to spit the venom when you/she are vulnerable...
