Married on 19th SEpt,08, got remarried on 27th feb as per rituals in front of family.We have been going out for close to a year before marriage.We both had a good understanding and spent 9months along at my parents place, post marriage.One day suddenly my wife started quarreling if I gave money to my parents.We had a fight and she left home to stay with her parents for 1 month.She came back after mutal consent and started staying with me on demand that I will shift to my own home in one month.I agreed to the same but within few days she again fought and went back to stay with her parents.I went back to her after convincing her for a month long,then she agreed, but now she didnt wanted to stay at my own home as this was closer to my parents place, so I bought a rented home closer to her parents place,as she wantd the same.We stayed for 4 months, during which she has left home 4-5 times and again came back after 2-3 days.During this 4 months period, she has been fighting with me for giving her monthly stipuated amt.As I didnt agree she kept fighting with me all the time.One day she created a scene back at home called her parents and friends and fled away with all the stuffs given by me.I cleared the rented house and came back to stay with my parents.She sent a legal notice to me (stating a list of expenses made by her, and complaining about harrasments done to her by me and my family, and she giving money for me and my family,she claims us to be orthodox and behind her salary, (which is hardly 1/5 th of mine).Also she is talking about being a co-applicant, While the house was taken by me and house registered in my name.)Thus putting all false allegations.also she claims to have done two police NC complaints, one was dated the time period when she was staying with me (which I came to know thru legal notice) and one post after she left me.Her advocate ends the legal notice by saying that I need to co-operate with my wife else legal actions will be taken by her.I dont know how to react to this wherein she is not even ready to co-habitat or asking for divorce.I am really not sure of her intentions.How can I save my hard earned money and my house.Also plz guide how I can come out of this.Thanks

Give a reply to the notice in detail. She cannot claim anything in your property except maintenance. File a petition of restitution of conjugal rights or go for divorce

If whatever you said is true, then go for divorce.

Since the number of standard cases generally filed by a separated wife n India has not started as yet , you immediately file a suit for Restitution of Conjugal Rights.
Check whether any FIR has been lodged against your name or not . If yes file immediately petition for anticipatory bail preferably in high court.

Move fast before your wife moves in with Womens' Rights activists at your doorsteps & the police in tow following an application in court of a list of goodies (real & imaginary) given at the time of marriage. Beware of an application u/s498A IPC which may implead not only you but your entire family notwithstanding their contribution if any towards the imaginary harassment & tortures she had been subjected to during her stay at your house.
File a Matrimonial case as early as your senses permit praying for Divorce.

Thanks to all.As per your directions I did send a reply in detail denying her false claims.and Have also asked to her to come back as a part of conjugnal rights.But no reply has come from her til date.
Just day before I got a petition put by her on 28th June before I even replied to her noticei.e 17th July wherein she has appealed for interim maintenance u/s 24 of Rs.5000 statin that I earn Rs. 75000(which is false).She claims that I have been mentally and physically harassing her...
Plz guide its been close to 5 months and she has not even reverted back on my notice nor is putting for a divorce.
I have completely lost my feelings in this relationship.feel its better to call it quits.If I put for a divorce what are the things I need to take care and do I need to give maintenance.What do u suggest as a smarter way to get out of this....
