Wife wants divorse

Dear Expert

Please help with proper legal opinion.
My wife is not staying with me for more than 5 years. She lived apart due to medical treatment. Suddenly we have received a notice/petition from court in Form (P)5A wherein she has applied for divorce with allegation of cruelty & desertion. As per this notice I have to attend the court on 20th April. Shall I attend, If I don't attend will it be exparte divorce. Kindly suggest with you valuable opinion.I am giving more details on this. From last 6 years we are not living together. I in outside from my hometown almost for 10 years.I got married in 2010 in hometown which was arranged marriage. After marriage I came back to my job location. One day my Mother found that my wife was taking Tablet. We asked but not disclosed properly. we took him to Local doctor with the tablet and doctor told the tablet is for mensturation problem. She is not getting testosterone hormone due to brain tumour operation happened at 12 years age. we took him another doctor.That doctor also told same thing.I thought I will send her back to her parent house but my guardians told don't do this as you married her you should take her for good doctors. I took her in Cheenai hospital where her parents suggested. Incurred huge money but doctor finally told it is incurable. In the meantime I found some medical papers from her parents where doctor told she will be not be like normal lady. When Chennai doctor asked about why she hide this before marriage she told her mother told her not to disclose.After Chennai she returned to hometown for homeopath treatment as per her parents. She never returned to me for six years. Last two months back she came to my house taken back her belongings and written a statement that she has taken all the articles at her wish & she has no demand on me for future. After that we have received a court summon about the Divorce wanted by her and put allegation about desertion and cruelty and no marriage relation exist hence requested for divorce.
I have checked with a lawyer who suggested that the divorce is requested by her. If you not appear on summon date it will be allowed as per the order/letter in Form No P (5A) of the fast track family court.Due to long separation I don't want to keep this relation with her. Kindly suggest with you expert opinion.
