Thanks sir.
I one thing more how can I proof our marriage is consummated.

ajay sethi (Expert) 12 January 2015
in your written statement you have to state that marriage has been consummated . burden of proof is on your wife who alleges that marriage is not consummated
rahul (Querist) 12 January 2015
Thanks.
Sir from the date of marriage dated 15.05.12 till date my wife stay with her parents in Bhubaneswar and I am in my home town.

She never came to my hometown Ranchi.

in every 3 or 4 months I go to Bhubaneswar and meet with her in hotel. I have all bills of hotel.

In this situation, can she proof that marriage is not consummated ?

For non consummation of marriage she can say it on oath, get some witness to who she informed the absence of any sexual relationship with you after the marriage.

marriage wont be anulled as wife has to prove your are impotent . mere non consummation is no sufficient to get marriage declared null and void under section 12 of HMA . you can produce medical evidence that you are potent

Dear Querist
there is no law by which a person can be force to live with other, so if your wife is not willing to live with you then i don't think so that this will be better option to live with her.

try to settle the matter amicably and go for MCD otherwise fight the case on merit.

Feel Free to Call
