1) suggest that you visit a family counsellor to resolve your differences . the mistake you made was buying flat in your wife name . you should have bought flat in your name or in joint names .

2) your wife needs psychiatrist treatment if she threatens to kill herself .she cannot restrain your parents from visiting you and staying with you for some days in a year .

3) keep control of finances in your own hands only . if situation dosent improve file for divorce

there is no such law wherein you can force your wife to visit counsellor .

if however you file for divorce court will refer petition to counsellor to enable parties to arrive at an amicable settlement .

You gave sufficient ammunition to your wife by purchasing the property in entirely her name. She can file the cases she has threatened by defraying the cost of litigation from this property.

There is no law whereby and whereunder she can be compelled to visit a counsellor. Endeavour to iron out your differences through counselling if she agrees thereto. If differences are irreconcilable then file for joint divorce.
