Legal Question in Family Law in India
What is the legal definition in Indian law of domestic abuse and who can be subject to this law?
If you leave your wife and don't contact her can this be considered domestic abuse under Indian Laws? If so how is it punishable?

Yes, this may amount to "cruelty" and "domestic violence". You may provide her adequate support to avoid any harsh legal action.
