husband and wife got married at bangalore and had two children. wife joined college and pursued b.ed and thereafter got posted at dharwad as school teacher, earning more than the husband. she lived there with her two children. husband who consented at first, later wanted his wife and children to come back and live with him in bangalore. Wife blatantly refused.
husband filed for divorce before family court, bangalore citing mental cruelty and desertion. Wife filed her objection against the petition saying she had no intention to cause cruelty or desertion and that she is staying away for a reasonable cause.
she files a petition for restitution of conjugal rights before the district court at dharwad.
Can both these petitions be clubbed to be tried in one court? if so, which court and what is the procedure to do so?
