Yes, you can file for divorce in Jaipur even if your spouse is in judicial custody, since incarceration doesn't prevent matrimonial proceedings from being initiated or pursued, though it does introduce specific procedural considerations regarding service of notice and the respondent's participation in the case. If your spouse's imprisonment itself forms part of your grounds for divorce, such as conviction and sentencing for a serious offence, this may be directly relevant to your petition under applicable provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act or other personal law governing your marriage.

To initiate proceedings, your advocate will file the divorce petition in the usual manner before the appropriate Jaipur family court, and service of court notice on a spouse in judicial custody is typically effected through the jail authorities, who are legally required to facilitate delivery of court documents to inmates under their custody. This process, while procedurally distinct from standard service, is well-established and courts are experienced in handling matters involving incarcerated respondents.

If your spouse's imprisonment relates to a sentence of seven years or more, this itself can serve as an independent ground for divorce under Section 13(1)(iii) of the Hindu Marriage Act, provided you can establish the conviction and sentence through proper court records, making the case procedurally more straightforward in terms of proving this specific ground. Where imprisonment doesn't meet this threshold but other grounds like cruelty or desertion apply, those grounds would need to be established independently through their own evidentiary requirements.

Practically speaking, an incarcerated spouse may need to participate in hearings through arranged video conferencing facilities from jail, or through legal representation if personal appearance isn't feasible, and courts generally accommodate these logistical realities rather than allowing incarceration to unreasonably delay proceedings.
