Yes
Wife can file case under Protection of Women from Domestic violence Act for relief mentioned under the act.
You can take ground about denial of physical relationship, and also her medical condition for divorce, but you have to prove with sufficient documents

Dear client, as epilepsy is not treated as the ground for your divorce, as epilepsy is a brain-related disease which is not contagious skin or viral disease like H.I.V.are included only for the grounds of divorce but the refusal of sexual rights is a reason for divorce as per section 9 of Hindu marriage act.
please contact for further assistance.
