Wife not willing to live with me – Legal options under family law


17-Aug-2025 (In Divorce Law)
I am a Muslim man living in Kolkata. My wife is not willing to live with me and she refuses to continue the marriage. I want to know what legal remedies are available for me under Muslim marriage law and Indian family law. Can I file for restitution of conjugal rights or should I proceed with divorce? Also, how can I protect myself from any false allegations?
