Emotional cheating - grounds for divorce?
07-Sep-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My husband and I have been having issues (emotional, physical, intimate and financial) since our wedding. It's been 4 years we have been married. Off late, found out that he still is in touch with his ex-partner (kept it secret from me all the while), tries to be in her good books. He still has her nude pictures (from their past) saved, hung on to all the memories and gifts.
Does this count as emotional cheating? If yes, can this be one of the valid grounds for separation?
If mutual divorce is unlikely, what options do I have?
Dear queriest, as you have mentioned the grounds can be used for divorce since it is a valid ground, secondly if there is no compatibility then you can go for mutual consent divorce which is time saving and also you will be separated legally. for more information in detail kindly contact me.

How long can husband and wife live separately?
Couples should not be apart for longer than six months, or at most one year. During this time, it is important to make conscious and sustained attempts to address the problems that distance can bring, such as loneliness, infrequent sex and lack of emotional or physical support. 13-Apr-2019
What happens if husband and wife live separately?
They are still considered to be married, even if they live apart. It has important implications: They are not legally allowed to marry anyone else. If one spouse doesnt leave a testament, the other spouse inherits automatically from the person without a last will.
What happens when marriage breaks down?
After a divorce, what are your legal options?
A court may grant a divorce decree if certain conditions have been met. A divorce decree dissolves the marriage and allows for both parties to get married again. 25-Feb-2022
What happens if husband and wife do not stay together for one year?
The court has the discretion to decide whether separation is grounds for divorce. The court can grant a divorce if it believes that the couple cannot reunite or that either or both spouses do not want to live together.
Whatever details you have narrated in your query , you can certainly file for contested divorce on the ground of cruelty which could be physical, emotional, financial etc if your husband is not ready for mutual consent divorce.

Definitely it will be termed as mental cruelty and this is one of genuine ground to take legal initiative against him. If he is going with this relationship without thinking about family he will has to face consequences under criminal laws and you can move ahead if things are not sort out.
