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?
Dear Client, Yes, the court can grant a divorce even if only the wife applies for it. However, this can only happen if the wife has a valid ground for divorce, such as cruelty, desertion, and adultery of the husband, among other reasons. In your case, since you have not consented to the divorce, the divorce will be considered contested. However, the court can only grant the divorce if the wife proves her ground for divorce and not just because she wants a divorce. I hope this answer is helpful. In case of further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank You.
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.
