Re: matrimonial

The husband is not entitled to divorce just for the asking. He needs to bring his case within one of the grounds available in law. The grounds are different for different religions. If the wife is living separate because of husband's fault, he cannot seek divorce and deprive the wife of her rights.

Re: matrimonial

Husband may file a divorce petiotion on the grounds of desertion or any other grounds that may be available to him and the wife may contest the same. However, if the wife wants to cohabit with the husband, she can file a petition for restitution of conjugal rights, before the appropriate family/district court. Even in case the court orders the husband to cohabit with the wife, the order cannot be executed, unless the husband willingly does so. In case the husband does not obey the order within a year, the non-obedience will only be another ground for divorce.
