Jurisdiction of the following case

I need help determining the jurisdiction for the following case. It will be included in my moot for college.

 

A husband and wife married in Pune in December 2005. Almost a year after marriage, husband wishes to file for divorce on the grounds of cruelty brought upon by his wife. The wife also wishes to get their unborn child aborted without the husband's consent. He challenges the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act and files for an injunction against the abortion in the Bombay High Court.

 

Assistance required in the following areas:

Oops, sorry. Husband and wife are currently living in Pune.

There is no question of jurisdiction in this case as both parties are staying in Pune and marriage was also solemnized there. Collect evidence and file divorce on cruelty.
