•Marriage Registration Date Mid- June 2011 (Special Marriage Act)
•Social Marriage Date Mid- Dec 2011
•Ever since marriage the girl (working lady) very often visited her father‘s place. The girl repeatedly started quarreling with boy and in-laws without any grounds.
•She left boy’s place once in end-Mar-12 .However boy and boy’s mother took her back through persuasion within 3 days.
•She again left boy’s place once in end-May-12. Boy and family tried for several persuasions (both written & in person efforts) for reconciliation. Results are in vain till date.
•Meanwhile in mid-July just for once, intimated the boy of her plans to proceed for a mutual divorce ,but no further written /verbal proposal came from girl.
Question is : Can the boy initiate a case of divorce ( not mutual) on the basis of desertion & cruelty by wife, NOW ITSELF. If not, what is the minimum time frame after which, the boy can initiate the divorce case on the grounds mentioned above(Last Date of Cohabitation: end-May 12)
