Will the court grant a divorce if only the wife wants it?
My wife has filed for divorce in family court, but I do not want a divorce. If only she wants it, will the court still grant the divorce?

No. A court will not grant divorce merely because one spouse wants it. If you do not consent, your wife must prove valid legal grounds such as cruelty, desertion, or adultery. Mutual consent divorce is impossible without your agreement. The court will first attempt reconciliation before deciding the case on merits.
