आपके भाई की स्थिति में, पत्नी का बिना किसी ठोस कारण के अलग रहना 'परित्याग' (Desertion) माना जा सकता है। वह दाम्पत्य अधिकारों की बहाली के लिए RCR (Section 9) फाइल कर सकते हैं, लेकिन अगर सुलह की संभावना कम है, तो क्रूरता के आधार पर तलाक का विकल्प भी है। 498A/DV जैसे संभावित झूठे मामलों से बचने के लिए उन्हें पहले से ही अपनी स्थिति स्पष्ट करते हुए पुलिस और स्थानीय थाने में लिखित सूचना देनी चाहिए। क्षेत्राधिकार के अनुसार, चूँकि वे अंतिम बार मेरठ में साथ रहे थे, इसलिए वहां का न्यायालय कानूनी रूप से उपयुक्त और उनके लिए सुविधाजनक रहेगा। इन कानूनी पेचीदगियों को विस्तार से समझने और बचाव की रणनीति बनाने के लिए, मैं आपको टेलीफोनिक कंसल्टेशन (Telephonic Consultation) का सुझाव देता हूँ। आप आगे की चर्चा के लिए मेरे साथ अपॉइंटमेंट बुक कर सकते हैं।

Your brother has both legal and strategic options here, and the approach should be balanced rather than rushed. First, on the wife staying at her parental home and refusing to return unless he separates from his mother — courts have consistently held that a wife cannot be forced to live in a joint family against her will. So this demand alone may not amount to cruelty. If your brother genuinely wants to continue the marriage, he can file a petition for restitution of conjugal rights under Section 9 Hindu Marriage Act in Meerut, since that is their last matrimonial home. This shows his bona fide intention to resume cohabitation and also creates a legal record in his favour. If reconciliation is not possible, he may consider filing divorce on appropriate grounds like cruelty or desertion, but desertion requires a continuous period (generally 2 years), so timing is important. Regarding protection from Section 498A IPC and Domestic Violence cases: * Maintain respectful communication and avoid any threatening messages * Keep records of conversations showing willingness to bring her back * Avoid unnecessary confrontation with her or her family * In case of FIR, immediately seek anticipatory bail On jurisdiction, he can file RCR/divorce in Meerut. However, the wife has the advantage to file cases like maintenance or DV at the place where she is currently residing, i.e., Bardhaman. Also, since a child is born, he should be prepared for maintenance claims under Section 125 CrPC for both wife and child. A practical approach would be: * First send a legal notice requesting her to return * Then file RCR in Meerut * Simultaneously prepare for any 498A/DV proceedings This keeps him legally protected while leaving scope for settlement.
