You can propose a mutual consent divorce but on certain conditions which are as follows:
1) To withdraw the Domestic violence case pending against you and your family members;
2) To not to demand monthly maintenance amount instead a properly negotiated and justified one time settlement quit amount can be agreed upon for parting ways permanently;
3) to cooperate to withdraw the dowry harassment cases, already filed if any or to give an assurance to not harass you with any such cases in the future;
4) To give you the child custody or to have a joint custody of the child with permission to visit the child periodically as per the agreed time table.
5) Any more such conditions which are suitable as per the prevailing circumstances/situations.

Thus a proposal for dissolution for marriage on the grounds of mutual consent can be made according to above terms or with any other items included in it as seen to take care of the future interests.

If you have decided to divorce, try for mutual consent. As it is, your wife is wanting divorce. So, file along with her after confirming her maintenance requirement. If you accept for divorce in the existing petition, the divorce order will comprise of all the allegations that are available in the petition filed by your wife. That order will be detrimental for your next step in your life. For further details, Contact me thro lawrato.com
