Divorce

Pratul

I would suggest that you file your divorce application first. One of the grounds in your application can be desertion by your wife for a period of more than two years. For proving desertion, you can quote your pending application for restitution of conjugal rights (section 9). Once notice is issued in your divorce application, you can withdraw your application under section 9.

For seeking police protection, you will be required to prove your threat perception. Only on your fear is not enough for police protection.

There is no amendment so far in HMA, although Rajya Sabha has passed The Marriage Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2013, This bill is yet to be passed by Lok Sabha.  After Lok Sabha passes the amendment bill, it will go to President. Only if, it receives president's assent, there will be amendments in Hindu Marriage Act.
