That's the mistake you have committed because you might not be guided by your advocate properly because in mcd case both of you have to appear twice then only divorce will Complete with in eighteen months period. So she didn't appear this will fail. Now you have to file suit for recovery and divorce under 13 a for divorce. U may call me for more brief

If you wife doesn't want to go for mutual divorce after first motion and she is given all the said amount but she didn't came for second motion you can file suit contempt of court against her and as well as divorce case under saction 13 1 a .

If the wife does not appear before court the court cannot consider the mutual divorce .as per law either of the parties can withdraw from the mutual divorce petition any time before the second motion and the court is not entitled to pass orders on the mutual divorce petition if either parties with draw.so you will have to file fresh petition alleging any of the grounds available for divorce .
