My wife has left home within 5 months of marriage, its been 10 months since she has left and she and her family aren't ready to meet & discuss. Her manipulative behaviour and disrespect towards my family led to issues & she decided to leave home. Her aggressive behaviour while any reconciliation discussion never lead to a conclusion. We have tried contacting them couple of times but they aren't ready to discuss and resolve the issue. There are huge compatibility issues. My ques are A. What are the legal actions that she & her family can take towards me / my family. No dowry / abuse / violance included. B. What are the repercussions if I send her a notice for mutual divorce? It has been 10 months that she has left home?

Hi,it is advisable to issue a legal notice under restitution of conjugal rights instead of mutual divorce to come back to her matrimonial home ..If she still refuses to come back we can initiate ,divorce petition on the grounds of desertion and mental cruelty...If we issue a notice for divorce,then she may have a ground for filing false complaint against you

if you want to terminate the matrimonial knot, then, try to settle the matter amicably with your wife involving elders/relatives/friends etc and go for Mutual Consent Divorce which will be decided in 6-18 months, and you both will be free to live life with your wish,
don't forget to draft an MOU before approaching Mutual Divorce, which is the most essential and important part of a Divorce case,
some basic points to keep in mind and put in writing through an MOU before filing the petition for mutual consent divorce are custody of kids, distribution of assets (movable/immovable), quash/withdraw of pending litigation if any, Maintenance (present/future), Alimony, mode and time of making the payment, streedhan, future litigation, etc.
if failed, you have two options,
one option is to,
file contested divorce on the grounds of mental cruelty but it will take around 3-5 years,
once you file contested divorce she may file/claim
498a complaint
Domestic Violence case
maintenance,
so be ready for them too,
and,
the second option is to file Restitution of conjugal rights petition in the Court, to show your bonafide intentions to save the matrimonial tie, however, you can withdraw the same any time,
RCR will work as a safeguard to 498a, maintenance, DV etc
