If the summons are intentionally not received by the parties and the postman gives a remark as Refused, in that case you can make an application to proceed the matter ex-partee i.e in absence of the opposite party and file your evidence in court.

Unless your husband receives summons the case would not move forward. However, refusal to take summons is a good service and the Court can then proceed ahead. Feel free to contact me for seeking any legal advice/assistance as regards the same.
