In India, obtaining a divorce when your wife is unwilling to cooperate (a contested divorce) is possible, but the process is more complex and time-consuming than a mutual divorce. The grounds for divorce and the procedure vary depending on the specific laws applicable (Hindu Marriage Act, 1955; Special Marriage Act, 1954; Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939; etc.). You need to determine which Act governs your marriage. Please contact to lawyer for more details. Disclaimer: This information is for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

For a contested divorce, you need to file a divorce petition in Court. However, if your wife subsequently agrees for a divorce then the same can be converted into divorce by mutual consent. Feel free to contact me for seeking any legal advice/assistance as regards the same.
