With respect to your query, the legal opinion is as under:- (1) The undertaking before a Court are necessary to be obeyed. So in the present matter conditions of compromise are being deliberately violated by your wife, you can move for Contempt of the Court (2) You are entitled to get the consent settlement revoked and can pray for recovery of the amount from your wife already paid. (3) As the compromise is not being followed by your wife and letters and in spirit, you are entitled to file any legal proceedings or case against your wife as suits you. The term that you will not be entitled to take up any legal proceedings would have been binding only if your wife abide by the terms of the settlement. (4) It is correct that Court cannot grant divorce unless consent is given by your wife. (5) However you are free to start proceedings of divorce to be decided on merit and the conduct of your wife will help you to prove cruelty and desertion from the side of your wife. (6) You can recover the amount paid so far to your wife or if recovery is not possible, the amount can be adjusted towards permanent alimony if divorce is granted on merit.
