1. Husband's desertion,2.Husband's cruelty, 3. Husband's leprosy, 4. Husband having another wife living, 5. Husband keeping a concubine,6.Husband's conversion toanother religion.,7.Any other justifying cause.

Nice information RAMA sir.. 

I have small query.

Since divorce proceedings are going on how can wife live under husband's protection?

What if the husband filed for divorce? How can he allow wife to reside in his house?

Also if annulment is filed under S.12 of HMA then they should not cohabit. In this case how can the husband allow her to reside in his house?

Will it suffice if the husband provides some accommodation to his wife not necessarily in his house?

How will the location of the accommodation be decided? Will it be near her matrimonial house or near her maternal house?

What happens if wife refuses to stay in the house provided by husband but insists on rent amount to be paid to her directly?
