Harrasment by wife and in-laws

Que. 1: How old is the marriage?

Que. 2: From which State you are enquiring?


Suggestion 1: Record all their threats in voice recording or video recording and or SMS recording format. Keep records of home finances and her education background / job status if any also for may be future references as evidencs.


Suggestion 2: If marriage more than 1 year old. You may after consultation with a local family law lawyer may file for Divorce on “cruelty” grounds.


Generic take 1: If wife is not adjusting in matrimonial home and on top it your In Laws who have no business in a couple’s daily affairs then you as husband should not take her and her side of family’s threats lying low. Police also have no business to entertain such nagging complans without giving opportunity to hear your say. Wake up to protest as per Family Law / Rules if all reconciliation efforts for keeping family harmony fails. Prepare yourself by studying Law and or reviewing past 100 messages on various Family Law subjects in Family / Criminal law forum here. Also prepare yourself for giving maintenance to wife and child (if any). Further prepare yourself by knowing what gender biased Family Law does to a husband and his side of family by reading articles placed by various authors here and then act accordingly.


More takes may be suggested post more questions from your side based on current realities of your matrimonial life.

Thanks for the suggestion

The marriage is 6 years old and I am enquiring from Delhi.

Is it possible that if I file a FIR with the local police station and also with the police station of my in-laws stating the harassment so in case they file any complaint against me, I can use that as an evidence at that time about the harassment.  I am concerned that laws are too much in favour of the women, so no one would accept me and my family's arguments, especially if they are going to use false claims.

Sir ji,


1. FIR in Delhi is now no more that simple that anyone (especially under trouble some marriage) one can file a FIR as in drop of a hat ! 


2. Give time to your present marital stage and meanwhile follow suggestion 1

3. You may file a police report with no mirchi masala paras as in a DD entry report to matrimonial home "jurisdiction" Police Station and take a stamped / signed receiving copy and this is your only security ID card till she and or her side may file complaint case.


4. I was not aware that husbands are "concerned that laws are too much in favour of the women, so no one would accept me and my family's arguments, especially if they are going to use false claims" Is it so !.
