Is "while" the correct word to be used in this sentence?

Question:-----------------------
If there is adequate legal reasons that they cannot live together anymore in harmony as husband and wife, the husband can submit divorce application, *while* the wife can file a complaint to the Court.

Answers:
In my opinion it should be:

If there "ARE" adequate legal resons that they cannot live together anymore in harmony as husband and wife, the husband can submit a divorce application, "WHILE/OR" the wife can file a complaint to the court.
The reason the word while sounds awkward is that you have a huge run-on sentence. It can be used in that way, but I would simply separate the second thought (the wife can file . . . ) into a separate sentence. Just my opinion.

Good luck.

PS it would be "If there are legal reasons . . . "(I would take out adequate also, using the term legal implies that they are adequate so that would be redundant). Again, Just my opinion.
