Need divorce from Wife

Dear Panel of experts

I need your valuable suggestion in my divorce scenario:-

I got married on jan 2007 after that My wife went  to USA on Octobar 2008.So it is more than a year now.

Things were never good in our relation and now she has come to India for 20 days seeking divorce with me . I am also ok with that and i have also found that she is already in affair with other person in USA (I have the email/chats as a proof of the same and also some  photographs as a proof of the same)

Now what suggestion i want from all of you is :-

How should i proceed for divorce??? though it looks like she will give divorce by mutual consent (as she told initially) but now what i am seeing is she is just passing the time in India by giving many excuses that she is busy and all that??

Now i am really confused as to how should i go ..she will even leave in another 20 days..

I will be greatfull for your suggestions...

Thanks in advance

 Talk to her to decide and settle the matter finally. Consult a local lawyer to proceed in the matter.

Thanks a lot  Adv Archana for your prompt reply .I am always in talk with her but  it seems that she is just [paasing the time.

Just wanted to let you know my apprehensions on this matter:-

 

Can i proceed for divorce on my own and given the case history and will it be easier for me to

get that on the grounds of cruelty (as she is already away from me since last 1 year and also has affair with another person ) or anything else.

Can i utilise her India stay in getting divorce even if doesn't agree for mutual consent..and get the things speed up..

Thanks

 If your case history show sufficient cause to proceed on the ground of cruelty, then do so.  Consult a good lawyer and talk to him in detail then he'll be able to guide you properly. For desertion it should be 2 years. If she is avoiding divorce, does she intend reconciliation? You can file for divorce unilaterally, if you have a ground as mentioned in s.13 HMA.

Thanks a lot  Archana once again for you valuable suggestion.

To answer your question:- No she is not intend for reconciliation and i really don't want also that to happen now coz she breached my trust by being geeting into realtion with another man in USA.

Also last six months i have gone through enormous pressure .my mother gone through heart surgery .she never came back to see  her from USA and also now i have the responsibility of marriage of my sister which is scheduled in near future..

She never considered my family as her and now i really don't want her to come again.

I really have no idea about s.13 HMA....whether she should be here for that (as she willl leave india in another 20 days or so )

And how much troublesome it would be  to take divorce unilaterally in my case,coz i am really not in position to go for any mental harrasment.

Thanks in advance for you valuable suggestion

Adv Archana Deshmukh (Practicing Advocate)     29 October 2009

  I would suggest you to talk to her clearly.  If both of you do not intend reconciliation then there is no use of just passing time.  Instead of carrying a dead marriage on the shoulders,  it is better to get legally divorced peacefully by mutual consent without making filthy allegations against each other. It is better for her also. Both of you would be free to restart your life.  If you file for divorce unilaterally on the ground of cruelty or other, if she does not appear and contest dispite service of summons on her you may get an exparte decree but if  she contest it she may cause you trouble by making allegations on you and your family.

s.13 of the hindu marriage act enumerates grounds for divorce. You need to satisfy the requirement of at least one ground to obtain divorce. I again suggest you to talk to a good lawyer in detail so that he can provide you good solution as per the facts of your case.
