• Wife mental cruelty man handling and manupulation

Hi am a middle class employee working with a private firm. I got married 6 years ago and have a four year son. From the time of marriage my wife does not gel with my parents sisters or anybody. She used fight and discuss things with neighbors. She gets up late and does not do any household chores instead blames my mother of not allowing to do so. Also very often visits her moms place and stays there for months. She would want me to leave my parents who are aged and am the only son. She put me embarrassments with various acts ofdisclosing our family matters and manipulated incidents to all my friends and office to get me surrendered to her. Now since am clear with my thoughts she recently broke my mother's hand and said that she fell of sugar. And threatens to filecases against me my family and sisters who never have indulged in my issues and also threatens to take our jobs. Seeking your advice to get away from this mess as I feel mentally in trauma and unable to take decision in safeguarding my innocent parents and sisters. Thanks

Please be aware that this is very common in case you take any action against your wife she will file a case but that does not mean that whole family will go to jail if you don't see any improvement and your life is miserable due to her behaviour you need to file divorce petition in the family court on the basis of cruelty and non compatiblity.

Be ready to provide interim maintenance for son and wife during the petition period and maintenance or alimony as the result of divorce.

Ask your parents to file domestic violence case upon her. There are judgements to it. Moreover, you can file divorce citing that at old age of your parents she is asking you to leave them and stay separate for the same to which she hlgoes and resides at her mothers place instead. There is a judgement. It will work wonders

Firslty, Sir, I really appreciate for the concerned nature of yours with regard to your parents.

Secondly, as per the Supreme Court judgments, if wife says to leave the parents then it may amount to cruelity to the husband, and he can file case on the same ground.

Thirdly, if you wish to further stop any false allegations against your parents then I advice you to first file a criminal complian against her as what she has done with your mother, and also a Dv case by your mother on her.

From the facts elicited by you, it is very clear that you are open to obtain a divorce from your wife on the ground of mental cruelty.

If you think divorce would be too harsh, then I'd advise you to see a marriage therapist along with your wife and take a couple of sessions with the therapist.

1. You are free to file a petition for dissolution of your marriage on the ground of cruelty but before doing this you should install CCTVs inside the house and collect evidence of her cruelty. She can contest your case in the court.

2. Most likely she will hit back by filing false cases of 498A and DV Act against you when you file the petition for divorce against her. So apply for anticipatory bail as and when the FIR gets lodged against you.

Dear,

Your problem is very common these days, but don't worry solution for this

problem is also available.

As you say that she is forcing you to live separately, good ground for divorce.

File divorce case against her in family court on ground of mental cruelty.

File domestic violence case through your mother and sister against her.

But your son is 4 years old, so court will handover his custody to your wife.

If she has decided to live a life of her choice, you cannot stop her from going on this rampage.

Instead you have to take care by constantly keeping a vigil over her for her next moves.

You may obtain AB if she moves police station with false criminal complaint.

If she is not cooperating and her tortures are intolerable then you may decide to quit the marriage by filing a divorce petition.
