Mine is the case of nullity of marriage, I got married one year back. I lived with my wife for 3months. After 1 month of my marriage I observed my wife can't see the things with left eye. The other right eye which she is seeing have been operated by doctor and told that it will also be detoriated in future. I request her to consult a doctor about her eye situation for which she refused and threatened me that if I tell to my parents or any of my friends and relatives she will suicide. Apart of this problem I am facing the main issue about our cohibatation, we never had any sexual intercourse. In the meanwhile we had fights regarding about our cohibatation. I was vexed with all the things about her eye situation, threatenings, and cohibatation. I finally told my parents my situation. They got disturbed and asked their parents for panchayat. His father who came for panchayat and told him about my situation and demanded that how could he suppressed the fact of his daughter eye blindness and discussed about his daughter refusual of sexual intercourse. His father who got aggressive, hit me and my parents and took her daughter to his home.We have recorded everything in cc camera. So we filed the nullity case of marriage and the notice also been served to the girls parents. One day all of a suddenly their parents and some of goons forcely came into my home and saying that they won't leave. I was told them them that I will record everything, for that his father hitted me, my mother and my sister. Later the girl, her father shouting at me saying that I am impotent. They abused me, hitted me and threatened me. For none of their warnings, I haven't hit them or scold them. I was telling them that I am going to submit my evidence of cruelity in the court. Some of my elders came and interfere in the situation. So the girl father demanding that he need 50 lakhs, house which we lives, he wants to remarry her daughter and we have to pay the expenses for it. If all this demands fulfilled then his daughter is ready to give a divorce. All I want to ask is 1) After filing a divorce case can my wife come to my home? 2) The girls parents are threatening me to remove the case.What can I do? 3) The girl father misbehaved, abused and hitted my mom and sister can I file a domestic violence on them? 4) The girl father who hitted me on my testicles I have undergone through lot of pain, can I file any criminal case on him? 5) While we are recording the girls family saying that these recordings won't help you any where, does the video and audio clips are really not helpful in the court? 6) Please let me know what are the steps I need to take here after? 7) I don't want them to come to my home again, how can I do that legally? 8)The girl father saying that he will file wrong cases on me like 498a and dv, if I won't take the case back.
