If your spouse is not consenting to a mutual divorce, you can legally seek a decree from the Family Court based on specific proven grounds. Navigating a contested divorce requires a strategic approach and strong evidence to protect your rights.
Key Legal Grounds for Divorce in India
Under the Hindu Marriage Act and other personal laws, the following grounds are recognized for seeking a contested divorce:
- Cruelty (Physical or Mental): If a spouse is subjected to any form of physical violence or persistent mental torture that makes living together impossible.
- Desertion: If one spouse has abandoned the other for a continuous period of at least 2 years without any reasonable cause.
- Adultery: Proof of a spouse having voluntary sexual intercourse with another person outside the marriage.
- Conversion: If a spouse has ceased to be a Hindu by converting to another religion.
- Unsoundness of Mind: If a spouse suffers from an incurable mental disorder that makes it unreasonable to expect the partner to live with them.
- Presumption of Death: If a spouse has not been heard of as being alive for a period of 7 years or more.
