How to proceed in this divorce cum custody case

Dear all , I got married about 5 years ago , 7 months post marriage i got to know my spouse is suffering from epilepsy (a fact i was not aware before marriage), then some how my wife not only this was also having side effects of the medications she was taking , was blessed with a child 2 yrs ago and then one fine day , my wife left the matrimonial house with the child , there was no fights , no criminal / civil cases . Tried to reconcile but she was not ready , in fact a year back i got to see a file of hers which contains her old medical records in orignal which showed the fact that she is suffering from an untreatable form of epilepsy , and she requires brain surgery , knowing this i dont want to get her back , but would like to get my son as a single complete care taker , i havent seen my son from past 2 years as sshe ha threatened me that if i try to see his face also she will put false allegations and put me behind bars, now  my question is i am really scared to o to thye court , now she has deserted me for more than 2 years and now what should i do put custody first or divorce first , if i put custody there is a fair chance that she may give divorce by mutual consent , as she has allready told neither she would give divorce nor take it and wants me to suffer , now epilepsy is not a ground for divorce , but section 5 of HMA shows if epilepsy was there before marriage it is not a valid marriage is it true or it is before the amendment , please advise how to proceed for a early respite , & how much time does it take to get the custody and divorce .

An application can be filed and contested succesfully on the ground of her illness and desertion.The custody of the child depends more on his welfare, whether with father or mother. However visiting rights can be obtained from the court.

File a restitution of conjugal rights petition containing all the above facts including the threats. Its needed.

Dear Sir,

             Agreed that you can file the case on the ground of dessertion but on the ground of disease how is it possible when Epilepsy is not a ground for divorce
