Hi Lawyers and other experts,
I am writing this topic in this forum because my marriage is going under lot of issues and I dont see any horizon of hope for any type of reconciliation with my wife.
I live abroad. My wife and my son were also living with me here till october last year. My wife went to India with our son in october last year and has not come back since then.
My question to you is
1) As per the Indian Marriage law what is the definition of Marriage (my and my wife we both are hindu)
2) If both the spouses live away from each other (specially in different countries) without even contacting each other but do not take any legal step like divorce or any such thing, then what will be the status of such marriage after some years?
3) Does, can status of marriage changes automaticaly in the eyes of law if spouses live separately for a considerably duration (like in years)? my son is with my wife and since, she has stopped all the contacts with me (phone, letters or even emails) It looks like that she does not even need any economical help from me. May be from her stubborn attitude or may be that she is earning. I am not sure. But I have come to know that she has put our son in school and started his education.
Any answer will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ramesh.
