A.Dear Client,

Living separately for an extended period, such as seven years, doesn't obligate your family to reunite with you against their will. Even a court cannot compel your family to reconcile after such prolonged separation, which constitutes a valid ground for divorce under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 if either spouse applies for it. However, under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, a spouse can petition a district court for the restitution of conjugal rights, which allows either the husband or the wife who has been unjustifiably deserted or separated to seek the restoration of marital relations.

A.Dear Client,
Living separately for long seven years cannot force your family to live with you against their consent. Even a Court cannot force your family to live with you after a long desertion of seven years which is a valid ground for divorce under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 if either spouse applies for divorce. However, under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, any spouse can file a petition before a district court for the restitution of Conjugal Rights. This remedy can be sought by either the husband or the wife who has been deserted or separated from the other spouse without any reasonable cause or excuse. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.
