Legal protection from wife threatening suicide
harassed

This query is : Resolved
I'm married since 2007.Things went well for a year.(problem started when my father refused to come down to my house to stay with my wife during one of my office trips to abroad for 2 months).Then started the usual nagging of my wife stating that I should not talk to my father and also should not support him financially.My father is residing in a different state and me in a different state.My sister who is married is also staying with him as her husband is frequently out of station for his business trips.Now my wife demands that my sister should move out of the house and my fahter's property to be transferred to her name.And she is constantly threatening me with suicide.In fact she threatens to suicide for any small argument/dispute.I feel harassed as I keep telling her that its not our business to see into my fathers affairs as he is living 1200KMs way.But she wouldn't listen and her parents are also vouching for her demand.She is a working professional..She doesn't want to participate in counseling.. Is there any way to protect me legally if she does something stupid as she threatens?..

Let her do whatever she wants, just remain calm.

You may consider the following action in order to protect yourself: 1. write to your father in law about the threats being given by your wife and also explaining the unreasonable demands being made by her against your father. request your father-in law to advise his daughter suitably.Send such letters by speed post with ACK Due. 2. If these do not have any effect and ur wife continues to give threats report the matter to the local police, who may call her for counselling. 3. You may also take her for counselling by the elders of both families. These steps will come to your rescue in case ur wife takes any untoward action of suicide or file any petition under Domestic Violence Act or under the IPC or file application for divorce.
