Yes it's under desertion section for divorce under the Hindu marriage act and includes these words
"The Explanation to Section
13 (1) defines desertion as, ‘the expression ‘desertion’ means the desertion of the petitioner by
the other party to the marriage without reasonable cause and without the consent or against the
wish of such party and includes the willful neglect of the petitioner by the other party to the
marriage. When one spouse leaves the other in a manner which is not justifiable, the deserted
spouse has a remedy by way of matrimonial relief's. "
The conditions which are needed is, 1) it should be without permission of the spouse, i.e. Anuj didn't want her to go 2) neglect should be for more than 2 years. 3) Neglect was without reasonable cause (ex if Anuj was beating Anupama and she left it's not neglect)
So it's not about not attending one school function, it's about continuous neglect where Anupama spends 90% time at her exes house and neglects husband and child and other duties at home.
