Divorce - respondent not ready for either mutual or conciliation
Guest

This query is : Resolved
What if the respondent, husband, in a divorce petition takes the stand that he is not ready for mutual divorce and also not ready to take her back even if she express unconditional willingness for both options in court? The respondent just wants the matter get decided by the court on merit, and not ready for any other options.
So, is respondent legally responsible to a convincing reason for such a stand?
If the judge asks, can respondent just say no to all other options without any explanation? If yes, will it create any adverse effect or weakens his side?

It may also mean that wife harassed husband out of court. So he harrassing her in the court...legally...
If he wants case to be decided on merits, be ready for that too.

Thanks for the replies.
Can husband take the stand that he is reday to take her back only if she files affidavit stating that all allegations especailly the grounds mentioned in her divorce petition is false and fabricated? If she is not ready to file such a affidavit, husband is not ready to take her back, and wants to get the case decided on merit. He is also not ready for mutual divorce.
Any adverse effect on husband's side for taking such a stand in court?

You cannot force your spouse for the divorce. If you have sufficient grounds, file divorce petition against her.
