This is really more of a life decision than a legal decision. If she is the person you say she is, you can either accept it and carry on with life. Or you can divorce her. If both of you are agreeable to a divorce, you can jointly file a petition and within about 8-10 months, your divorce would be final. If she is not agreeable to a divorce, then you can apply for a divorce under mental cruelty stating all the reasons above. Of course, this is a very time consuming process (3-5 years in many cases depending on where you live). This method of course does not guarantee a divorce. Both methods may involve you paying some amount to the wife under the current Indian judicial ethos regardless of who actually earns more.

Please have a word with me for more information.
All the best.
