A.Hi
The government of india has invoked disaster management act and as such certain fundamental rights pertaining to travel has been suspended.
So if at all you have any necessity , you can obtain travel passes from your police station who in turn will grant you passes for inter-district travel. Courts have said clearly that if there is any emergency, citizens can obtain permission from police and travel.
Hope this information is useful.

A.You have not mentioned clear that who had hold you and if police or government authority has hold you and your family for quarantine then they will be released after 14 days with sanctification negative report of Covid-19 and if the persons not related to government body then you can file Habeas Corpus writ before High Court or made complaint before appropriate i.e. S.P., D.M. authority for illegal detention or call your relatives to file the same.

A.Hi,
Really sorry to know the pathetic situation you are going through, hopefully soon the lockdown gets over and you join back to your family.
The certain right has been curtailed under DM act, the court may not entertain such petition or result may not be so favorable.

A.This is a time of national emergency and it is unfortunate that you and your wife are stuck separately. However, these measures are required to combat this situation. You may approach the district collector of the place you are residing presently and request for permission to travel to the place where your wife is staying. I believe you may be able to resolve your issue.
