Yes, in India, a husband and wife can legally live apart without obtaining a divorce. This can happen either through mutual consent or by seeking a judicial separation order from the court. However, living separately comes with legal and financial implications that both spouses should carefully consider.

When seeking divorce on the grounds of separation, couples must prove they have lived apart for a specific period typically at least one year and have no intention of reconciling. Evidence of separation can include proof of different residences, communication records showing minimal or no interaction, and even witness statements.

To establish separation for legal purposes, it must be shown that there is both physical separation and a clear intent to end the marital relationship. This can be supported through documentary or circumstantial evidence, affidavits, and, if mutually agreed, a formal separation agreement. Such an agreement can also help clarify financial arrangements, property division, and child custody during the period of separation.

Answer #3

The said fact may be proved by the residential proofs, i.e. such as electricity bills, gas bills, telephone bills, etc. Any letter addressed to such address since last 2 - 3 years will also be sufficient proof. If none of the above is available, then the affidavit of any one witness i.e. any neighbour who is not having any interest in the said case will be sufficient evidence.

Answer #6

The facts claimed in a Court of law are required to be proved by evidence whether documentary or statements of witnesses. If husband and wife are staying away for three years there would be plenty of evidence in the form of letters or mails in which these facts would have been mentioned. If she stays in another city proof of that can be produced. Else people around including members of your family who have gained knowledge of such separation can depose.
