Given that in Indian customs women are given higher degree of sympathy, what are the chances for a man to get a clean and peaceful divorce in situations where he finds that his wife is mentally sick?
Mentally sick wouldn't always mean a mad person. There are people who psychologically are unfit and ill. Such people from time to time do behaviors which often lead to unpleasant situations.
In situation like these what are the necessary documents required as proof and how viable are such situations for plea of a divorce?

Marriages in India don't happen same as marriages in the west.
You hardly come to know the girl you're marrying before marriage.
And it's difficult for me or anyone else to change these customs because I was born in India with the fucked up, obsolete, impractical Indian Culture.
All I'm asking is, Legal Indian Options.
Just because one gets married to an improper partner doesn't mean he's liable to screw up the rest of his life.

In reply to the person who talked about medication..............
In the past 2 years, she's changed more than 40 doctors while not letting any single doctor's medicines to last for more than a week.
In Allopathy, to cure every disease one needs to follow a proper routine as prescribed by the doctor. But if the person is mentally ill and doesn't follow such advises by the doctor, god knows how such a person can be cured.
Also nothing can be forced to the person (even for medication) because that could also lead to legal issues.
People who aren't completely mad and also not completely fit are a bigger problem to deal with (that's my case).
In my case I get suicidal threatenings from my partner to follow her sayings.
My point is, How long can one bear such situations ???

I can understand now why there are more divorces in the west than in the east.
Please stop giving your philosophy and be practical.

i don't know Indian customs very well, but i understand that you didn't pick your own wife. she was chosen for you. you couldn't have known of her mental problems ahead of time. you say she threatens. I'm wondering if you have order of protection in your country, that you can file with divorce actions. if she can't get near you, she can't live as husband and wife with you.

If that's the only reason for your divorce, you should support her, and help her find help. She might return to the woman you married.
If you go through with this remember that an unhappy mar rage can cause behavior like that you describe. Label ling her with having mental problems could destroy the rest of her life; no job prospects; no self belief, etc.
If you have other reasons for wanting a divorce, then take the long rout to divorce. It's worth the extra time to know you didn't do more damage than you needed to in an already painful and damaging action.

I am just a little curious about something that you had said, If nothing can be forced on a person, then why did you marry her in the first place? I already know the answer to my question, it is because of the customs that is in India! She was forced to marry you! You contradicted yourself! So I just want to tell you this, If you can and are so devoted to the customs in India, then you should be the same way with your wife! It was not her fault that she had ended up with this terrible illness,or having to be married to you!!! You should be ashamed of your self for even thinking about divorce!!! I pray to God that she will get better so she will not have to live in the agony of her illness or with the agonies of having to be with someone who just looks at her as a burden instead of as his wife whom he vowed to love & chairish to stay with her for better or worse, in sickness and in health until death do you part!!!! And I will pray for you as well! I'm sorry that you are like this, but you are a very cold hearted person!

so why do you have to get a divorce, what if they can put her on medications that will re-aline her and make her normal, you dont even love her anymore either? if you dont love her cause of this, i think you owe it to her to give her the benefit of the doubt and see how she does on medication, it may turn her around completly! its not like she asked to have this mentall illness. and if the pills dont work and she getts real bad then ok i would make sure that she gets into a home that can help her, then do the divorce. but realy do try getting her on some medicine first, take her to a mental health specialist so he can get a diagnosis and try treating her, ask the doctor how long it will take for the medication to take effect so that you know in your own mind how long of a chance you want to give her before you decide that it is jut not working. good luck, do the right thing.

You stopped loving her because she is sick? You must not have loved her very much befor it that is the reason for a divorse. Marriage is for bette or worse not for better or better. Would she do that if the tables were turned around. You should be protecting her and giving her all the help she needs. If you go ahead with this be prepared for your next wife to do the same to you if the situation ever comes up or even if you are mentaly stable and become disabled. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I thought in India, that the "stove blew up and killed her" is one of the primary ways divorces happened.
The court system in India is different that the ones that I have lived under, so I am not sure if this is the right forum to ask these questions.

Well you can divorce on the grounds that she's not mentally stable enough toprovide you with the wifely things you need.

You should have gotten to know her better before you married her. Now she will probably get more ill when you divorce her. Your a great guy.
