Dear Learned lawyers and legal experts
I had a personal problem which I am going to discuss here for which I require a legal advice.
I am working in a govt bank and married a a small town girl from a middle class family(second marriage for both of us).From the very first day of the marriage she is complaining on petty issues regarding the marriage arrangements etc,after which she lived with my parents in my flat for about a month,and she starts misbehaving my parents and blame my mother who is old and always remain ill for not working etc. I regularly persuaded her for the duration as my parents are there for a short span to avoid quarrel.After which her parents came to live with us.Her parents from the very first day start taunting and passing sarcastic remarks for me and my parents and supported my her,I always tried to avoid the situation as I dont want to take ton on my head after hectic office work, during their stay we came to know that she is pregnant,but due to hyper thyroid there was miscarriage I tried my level best to get her treated in super specialty hospital and spend almost 70K for her treatment,after the miscarriage she and her parents start blaming me for not caring and tension and torturing me mentally,her father warned for dare consequences.She went with her parents for the change and getting rest,I booked the flight ticket for them and regularly sending money for her treatment,but even though she is fighting over the phone and had given me warning to book under fake cases,also she phoned my father and said the same.
Sir my question is if due to some ill intention she filed a fake case against me which she had said what will be protection for me,I am very tensed and not able to sleep properly and not able to even work in office my parents are also very much worried.
Kindly advice me what to do in such situation and how to come out of this situation(marriage)

UR problem is still not a legal issue.Both married for the second time and unwarranted differences cropping in spoiling the marital life.presumming that she would launch cases against U.Better go for mediation and counselling and settle the matter.At this stage I am not suggesting legalities which will further ruin the relationship.

What do you want - to save the marriage or get a divorce?

Since you have handled the issue in a matured way, you may continue it in order to save the marriage and the sacred relationship, because it is second marriage for both of you and any more legal complication in the same manner may ruin your future life and you will not be able to salvage it.
As suggested by my expert brethren, you may try for counselling and reconcile the differences for a better understanding. She may be under misguidance by her parents, but you should not allow such things to continue. First of all you should not spend lavishly for her requirements. The expenses should be for comfort and not for luxurious life, this trend may spoil her mentality more and more. Have an introspection and put your best efforts to settle the issue amicably.

Dear Kalaiselvan Sir,
I totally agree with your suggestions and as you said I will follow the same,currently she is in her parents house for taking rest,few days back she called me and was asking me to take the flat in her town and in her name,but tactfully I managed to delay it,but Sir she argues a lot on simple petty issues over phone and if she understand that I catch her lie or she is weak in some point she start crying and threat me to commit suicide,also few days back she had given me the threat to book the false case and rotten my life if her wishes are not fulfilled,after that I am totally out of sense and I am not able to work in office.Sir tell me if due to some ill intention she files a fake case what are the legal protection to me and how can i save myself.Kindly guide me.
Thanks

The simple solution to her demand for transferring the property on her name can be handled cleverly by executing a Will bequeathing the property on her name and handing her a copy of the registered deed.This will regain confidence in her about the insecure feeling she is undergoing at present. Do not ever let her know that this will can be superseded any moment in the later stage. This way you can still find some respite to your current crisis.
