For a Hindu, the grounds for seeking divorce are provided under the Hindu Marriage Act which are given under Section 13 as cruelty, desertion, conversion to any other religion, Insanity, Leprosy, suffering from Venereal Diseases, Renunciation and presumed to be dead as not heard for more than 7 years.
the Grounds are similar in other religions as well, your question needs to be elaborate for a proper advice. Furthermore, there is another ground which has been evolved by way of judicial precedents i.e. Irretrievable breakdown of marriage as well.
