1. There is provision for husband for divorce which you have to understand on what grounds you can file and what are the legal steps you can take only by discussing. Joint Petition in the sense you can file Mutual Consent Petition under section 13 B of the Hindu Marriage Act.
2. She can have claim / rights on husband property but for same we can defend.

Hello Dr. Banerjee.
1) Mutual Consent is a simple way of coming out of the marriage and dissolve it legally. The divorce petition is in the form of affidavit, which is to be submitted to the family court. After the filing of the petition and recording the statement of both the parties, the court generally adjourns the matter for a period of 6 months. Time duration in mutual consent is from six months to one year from the date of filing of the petition. It varies from case to case & place to place.

2) If the divorce is through mutual consent all the claims has to settle before moving the joint petition. It is very much necessary to decide for husband and wife on two aspects and have to reach to consensus. One is the alimony or maintenance issues. As per Law there is no minimum or maximum limit of maintenance. It could be any figure or no figure. Next important consideration is the Child Custody. This can also be worked out effectively between the parties. Child Custody in Mutual Consent Divorce can be shared or joint or exclusive depending upon the understanding of the spouses.
3) As you are living separately for a period more than a year and during this period of separation you have not been able to live together as husband and wife.
you can present the joint petition for divorce
4) If the property is owned by your parents wife cannot claim property. If you are a hindu, the inherited property can be claimed. If its self acquired property of your mother or brother she will have no right to claim.She definitely has rights to claim 1/3rd of your income and assets that you own.
Its observed, in some cases, the court has decided that wife will not get any alimony or maintenance if the husband is successful in proving she is well to do and is capable of earning a good income.
