dear experts,
would like to know if this amounts to desertion?
1. wife left home after 8 months of marriage
2. husband called wife by issuing letters to join him, wife replied nothing
3. husband issued letter calling for divorce
4. after 1 and 1/2 years, husband filed divorce and wife filed dvc/498a
5. husband's divorce dimissed
6. husband got aquittal u/s 498a from sessions court
7. dvc and maintnenace case going
8. this whole process has taken 8 years but wife never did anything to join the society but case after case
since it is an 8 year episode and continuing, can husband file divorce under the context of cruelty (498a acuittal) and dessertion (8 years separation)? will husband win the case?
