I suppose this Maint Order is under S. 125 CrPC and may be an interim order? or under the same Act is it a final order? Yes, either party can approach as per HMA for Divorce. it is difficult to say about the duration witout knowing about the religion and under which act the Maint. order is passed. Please alloborate looking at the Order Sheet.

Divorce can be obtained only on the grounds availble as per law. The husband can file the divorce petition if staying seperately by the wife falls within the definition of desertion.

The ground for divorce is incompatability amongst the other ground and the Court will consider the ground and allow the dissolution of marriage

In order to complete justice between parties and shorten agony of parties engaged in long drawn batter Decree of dissolution of marriage between the parties was passed. The Madras High Court has viewed that it is impossible and impracticable to preserve the marriage and any further effort to keep the marriage alive, would prove to be totally counter-productive and in order to do complete justice and to shorten the agony of the parties engaged in a long-drawn legal battle, the Decree of dissolution is allowed. This has been reported in 1 [2009] DMC 439 [DB] Madras High Court.
