if you want to terminate the matrimonial knot, then, try to settle the matter amicably with your wife involving elders/relatives/friends etc and go for Mutual Consent Divorce which will be decided in 6-18 months, and you both will be free to live life with your wish, don't forget to draft an MOU before approaching Mutual Divorce, which is the most essential and important part of a Divorce case, some basic points to keep in mind and put in writing through an MOU before filing the petition for mutual consent divorce are custody of kids, distribution of assets (movable/immovable), quash/withdraw of pending litigation if any, Maintenance (present/future), Alimony, mode and time of making the payment, streedhan, future litigation, etc. if failed, you have two options, one option is to, file contested divorce on the grounds of mental cruelty, but it will take around 3-5 years, also once you file contested divorce she will surely file/claim 498a complaint Domestic Violence case maintenance, so be ready for them too, and, the second option is to file Restitution of conjugal rights petition in the Court, to show your bonafide intentions to save the matrimonial tie, however, you can withdraw the same any time, RCR will work as a safeguard to 498a, maintenance, DV etc
