Try to get elders involved for amicable settlement.

process for what? is it closing criminal case or to get divorce. for divorce file joint petition before family court. for closing criminal case file a compounding application before the court, if not permitted by the court as the offence is not compoundable, approach the high court under S.482. the same will be permitted. naik@legalscrutiny.net

simply file a petition for mutual consent and then inform the court that you both are seeking divorce and file a petition in the high court for quashing of f.ir. u/s 498a. consult a good local lawyer.
