In my opinion complaint should be filed where the offence is committed, but complaint will be filed by the wife in the city/village where her parents resides stating that in the husband's house there was a threat for life like this so I filed a complaint here ,but in my opininon it is wrong.  IN your question B has no jurisdiction
