This query is : Resolved
Wife has paranoid suspicious behaviour-suspecting - husband of "having an affair", neighbours & friends of "plotting against her", husband's relatives of "trying to harm her"., etc etc....Obviously, something is wrong, because none of it is true. Still, she carries on her ill-will & vendetta feeling,affecting the husband's life and causing him mental strain thru her bad verbal behaviour.
Husband is sure that there is some psychological problem , and maybe a psychiatrist , or even a marriage counsellor can help. But the wife continues to claim, that she is perfectly normal, and refuses to goto any specialist. The relatives are also of no help in this matter.
What is the best course of option in this case, and how can a family court help?

You can file a suit for divorce alleging her suspicious behaviour amounts to mental cruelty. Then the Court can direct counselling and you can chart future course of action thereafter.

Try to get her checked by a psychiatrist. Take help of her parents.

Find out actual problem by openly discussing with the lady wife, who must be having "some" reason for her suspicious and rude behaviour. Once properly diagnosed only then proceed.
However, as I observed, it is not a legal problem/query.

Thanks, Mr Venu, Mr Vashishta & Mr Goyal.
Mr Venu, Is it necessary to file a suit of divorce only(because that may further enrage her to take foolish steps). Can there be some provision to enforce some kind of counselling, without taking recourse to "divorce"? Please DO HELP ME , IN THIS REGARD.
Mr Vashishta, though it may not appear to be a legal issue, but, it seems all other options are not working, because she is not prepared to allow any intervention by counsellor, psychiatrist etc, and the problem remains as such.

If she is adamantly not cooperating to visit counselor or a psychiatrist, the next option is to go for divorce against her.

Sir, My intention is to enforce counselling only, and not to go for divorce etc. So , if I file a divorce case in the hope that the court can direct counselling to take place, is there certainty that the counselling will take place ? Does counselling always take place, in such cases ? Also, what is the course of action if she does not accept counselling?
