See, law says that a wife has to stay with husband if there is no reasonable cause for her to remain separately. In your case, since the wife deserted u, you have good ground to get divorce. So, a contested divorce on the ground of desertion and cruelty can be filed. Secondly Sec 125 CrPC says that maintenance can't be granted to a deserting wife. The onus to prove that she has reasonable grounds to live separately lies on her. The court in DV case also will be guided by the same proposition. You need to fight well to get reliefs.
