Yes, u/s 10 of Indian Divorce Act, you can file for the divorce. The condition of 2 years of desertion is valid in this case.

firstly find what is there matrimonial home. after marriage where they started their newly married life. it seems that wife's residence was his matrimonial home, because that tribe has such custom/provision. in that case,not she but he deserted the spouse.

you take cruelty & desertation both the grounds.
