Husband wants divorce (obsas)

Can a husband get a divorce from his wife on grounds that he is not satisfied with his marriage, even if the wife refuses to consent to a divorce? The marriage is 12 years old. He is frustrated because of obesity of wife, for which he cannot consummate the marriage. His efforts to get wife to reduce obesity has been unsuccessful and he gave up after the first 5 years of marriage. The wife wanted a child, however, husband refused. He does not maintain physical relationship with wfe for past 7 years and wife has accepted that theu will not have any physical relationship or a child. Also, there is no emotional connect between the couple. They practically lead separate lives in the same house, with husband taking care of earning and wife taking care of home. There are no fights or physical abuse between the couple, with the wife having accepted the marriage as is and she is very comfortable with status quo. The husband is now frustrated, and is seeking options to come out of this "dead" marriage and start afresh. Can he seek divorce? If so on what grounds? What are the risks?

You need medical help , not legal help.

 

There are many clinics who claims to have reduced obesity in a month's time, why not spending money on that instead of running around courts ??

What if wife not interested in taking that medical help, and all efforts of husband towards this has failed? And she is happy with status quo? What then?

this is not a ground for divorce,

if she agree for mutual consent divorce with money... then you can get divorce on settlement basis, not otherwise.

It is a old marriage.

1. You have a case of mental cruelties due to no s*x in marriage and no children out of the marriage due to her obesity and refusal.

2. Hire an advocate via reference and build up a case accordingly.

Since she is a housewife some monetary drain is expected if divorce is sought from her, be prepared for the same.
