That ground won't help her. She has to prove that husband's bad behaviour or cruel behaviour of both or either mental or physical behaviour forced her to be away from her husband for more than two years desertion. Otherwise on the ground of cruelty also she can seek divorce, but not on the ground of irreconcilability, as the divorce law in vogue.
