To prove desertion by the wife during cross-examination, questions generally focus on why she left the matrimonial home, whether she had any reasonable cause, and whether the husband ever refused to take her back. Common questions include: • When and why did you leave the matrimonial home? • Did your husband or his family ever ask you to leave? • Did you make any attempt to return or reconcile? • Did you issue or receive any communication (messages/calls/legal notices) regarding resumption of cohabitation? • Are there any incidents of cruelty that prevented you from staying? • Did you leave voluntarily and on your own decision? These questions help show that the separation was without reasonable cause and against the husband’s wishes, which is essential to establish desertion. For detailed and case-specific guidance, please contact me.
