Divorce does not automatically require the wife to vacate the matrimonial home. Under Indian law, she has a right of residence in the shared household. She can be evicted only by a specific court order, depending on ownership, facts of the case, and any DV or maintenance proceedings.

legally she is bound to vacate the house but intentionally she will not do that so you must send her legal notice for that and mention clearly about home and judgment and give intimation of filling police complaint then she will permanently go from your life

She will not by itself vacate the house
In case of mutual consent you can get it vacated on terms and conditions mutually agreed
If the property is in joint Nema you can ask the court to sale the same or allow you to be in the house
But in. All the cases you will have to give wife a rented house at least.
Or in case of mutual consent a lumpsum compensation can be given to her and ask her to vacate the flat

No, Divorce does not automatically end the wife’s right to reside in the shared/matrimonial home. She can stay unless a court passes an eviction order or alternate accommodation is legally provided. You can seek more Consultation on call.
