17-Jul-2024 (In Divorce Law)
I got married on 18th Feb 2017 and my wife separated on 9th April 2017 asking for divorce all of sudden without any arguments or reason. After a wait for almost a year when I called for filing divorce her brother told that she has left for abroad and divorce is not required, and I should not ask for it. I am not able to travel abroad as visa will not be granted without divorce. how to file for divorce when spouse is out of-country ?

Hi First ascertain abroad address of your wife. Then you can issue the legal notice. Their after based upon reply, u can decide. Alternatively, you can also file a case for divorce, after issueing legal notice to the last known address or parents address, later on, knowing about reply/status. U can decide what can be done legally.
