In India, a sexless marriage where one spouse consistently denies physical intimacy without valid reason can be considered a form of mental cruelty and may be used as a ground for divorce. Although not directly listed in the Hindu Marriage Act or other personal laws, Indian courts have held in multiple cases that prolonged denial of sexual relations can cause emotional suffering, strain the marital bond, and justify legal separation.

Answer #6

Your matter has been referred to me by Lawretto: Your wife being not in sexual relationship with you and not willing to conceive are sufficient grounds for you to seek divorce from her. As you are married for last 3 years and till now from day of marriage you not being in sexual relationship also same. But she not wanting to keep relationship with your parents and brother & sister are not relevant matters. I can take up your case, if you can get certain materials I suggest to you.
