Register Marriage is valid and has a legal binding on the spouses. The husband can very well maintain a petition for divorce. Conversely, the wife can also maintain a petition for restitution of conjugal rights provided she is willing to live with teh husband.

According to section 13 of Hindu Marriage Act of 1955, there are several grounds for seeking a divorce:

Adultery.
Desertion.
Insanity.
Conversion.
Renunciation.
Cruelty.
Venereal disease.
Presumption of death

Under section 13(1A)(ii) of the Act either party has the right to present a petition for divorce on the ground that there has not been any resumption of conjugal rights for a period of not less than one year even after the decree was passed by the court.
