In case your spouse is not agreeing to the mutual consent divorce, then you can file a petition under any of the grounds mentioned under Section 13(1) of the Hindu Marriage Act.

Mutual divorce is the easiest way to get divorce, however, if one spouse does not agree for divorce, a petition for contested divorce can be filed in the court of appropriate jurisdiction. The said petition has to be filed on grounds such as adultery, cruelty, desertion, conversion, mental disorder, leprosy, non-resumption of cohabitation, etc., as per your case. 

If you need to understand the step-by-step procedure for divorce, you can read the LawRato’s LawGuide or connect with me.
