I am a Canadian citizen who traveled to India to have an arranged marriage with somebody who I thought was of the same religion following as me. Our marriage was solemnized as per Hindu customs. Marriage registered under special marriage act in New Delhi. We lived together for only one month. After this time I flew back to Canada and filed papers to sponsor her to come to Canada. For the last 1.5 years we have been waiting for her. And this time she has admitted to me that she does not follow the same rules, and she was just doing this to make me happy but genuinely has no interest, she has admitted to me many times that she absolutely hates India and never wants to live there. She tells me that she doesn't love me or like me very much, and she is not interested in building our relationship until she comes to Canada. She is always neglecting me, and not allowing our relationship to build at all. I have tried to visit her multiple times but she has refused giving me excuses about how she doesn't want to see me because it will be hard once I leave blah blah blah. She has made many new guy friends and it is very clear that our relationship is not genuine. I contacted immigration Canada and canceled her sponsorship application to come to Canada. She will not be coming to Canada now. The immigration people also did not feel our relationship was genuine, and recommended that she go in for you, which she would not have passed. We split up once before about six months ago, and I contacted a lawyer from India who is trying to tell me it would cost me $6000 CAD to file for divorce. I read that there is no legal consequence for me to do anything, because I am Canadian citizen. She is from somewhat of a poor family, and my understanding is that it will be next to impossible to impose such things as dividing my assets etc. here in Canada. My question is what is the easiest way to get a divorce according to my situation? Can I file something in Canada? Does she have legal rights to take half of my house and assets? Thank you for your time.
