Divorce

Dear Querist,

A contested divorce would take long, but since your husband is out of touch - these grounds look probable to me :-

1) Desertion;

2) Presumption of Death if facts warrant; 

3) In any case I feel he won't be forthcoming to contest - and there is a good chance you'd get an ex parte decree for divorce. 

Feel free to talk !

first clarify me, now which caste are you following ? if more than 7 years could not find any one you may file to the court that declaration for death. 

Seeing all such kind of queries in the forum, I am just wnadering what is happening with Indian families. Better to go back to Plato concept of families. 

Since he is in US and you are living separately for the past 9 years, there is very little likelihood of him coming to India to contest the divorce. You can file for divorce on the ground of desertion. Presumptive death can be a ground of divorce if he has not been heard of as alive for a period of 7 years but the same would be very difficult to prove .
