• Mental torture

I told my wife's family that im earning 35k per month.... Now she is torturing that her brother/neighbor/relatives are all earning around 1 lakh per month....
 
she is not committed to any work...she is saying at my home my mother looked after all work...so i dont know how to do this and that.....

Moneywise and workwise she is giving me immense pressure.... I spoke to her about both problems... she doesn't listen to me....If I insist she might file a case.. 

What to do ?

1)well not every individual can earn Rs 1 lakh a month .just because your wife brother and neighbours are earning more there is no reason for your wife to compare you with them .

2) you should encourage her to work . give instances of your friend wives who are working . . these days it is necessary for both to earn to lead a reasonable life style .

3) dont take stress . you will land up with major health problems . be satisfied with your earnings

4) let your wife file case if she so desires . fight it on merits

1. You cannot force our wife to do any kind of household work. Forcing wife to perform work within the household amounts to domestic violence.

2. You may ask but not force her.

3. If you assault your wife even though due to a grave and sudden provocation she can prosecute you under criminal law in addition to filing a DV case against you.

Don't stress yourself. Request your wife to attend with you a session before a marriage counsellor. If better sense does not prevail on her even after counseling then you may apply for divorce.

1) if wife is working she may not get maintenance . is she is highly qualified and not working you can draw attention of the court to said fact that she can easily work and maintain herself

2) if your wife signs any documents mentioning list of valuables lying in her possession it would be binding upon her .
