If your wife has left and is not returning home, it's a sensitive situation that requires both personal and legal consideration. The first step should ideally involve open communication, possibly with help from family elders, mediators, or counselors to resolve misunderstandings.

If reconciliation efforts fail, legal remedies are available. Under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, you may file a petition for Restitution of Conjugal Rights (RCR), asking the court to direct your spouse to resume cohabitation. However, while the court can pass such an order, it cannot physically force a spouse to return.

If living together becomes impossible, you may also explore divorce options on grounds such as cruelty or desertion. Consulting a family lawyer is crucial to understand your rights, possible outcomes, and the best course of action for your situation.

First of all my wishes to you that you want to live with your wife. You approach an Advocate and give him details. You can file Restitution of Conjugal Rights in your jurisdictional Court and she has to appear for that case and you will have a chance of mediation. You can solve your problem. If any doubts please call me.
