Dear Madam/Sir,
Please advise on how to deal with a husband who uses emotional blackmail and threatens to commit suicide when myself and my family members are not able to meet his constant demands for money. We are facing lots of mental harassment from him which had taken a toll on my health.
My husband is presently jobless and is too lazy to find a job and earn a living. He always expects me and my parents to provide financial help.
Let me know what legal options do I have to protect myself against him.
Thanks
Rao

Call a meeting of relatives / family friends and raise the matter before them. Try to get the findings documented with signatures of participants and your husband.
Or Record such threat next time.
Lodge complaint with police whenever he gives such threat after recording.

1. The Legal Solution is very simple: Just stop providing money & food to Husband. Nobody can legally force you to provide money & food to any person.

You record the demand of your husband and then make a complaint in the police station concerned. Raise the issue before your inlaws with your parents, elders, well-wishers etc., and try to amicably settle the issue.

Hello,
Demanding money from your parents and you is demand of dowry. Approach local police station and file complaint. This may give him some lesson. In police station you can demand counselling also.

Instead of pressurizing your parents for more money (which you can never satisfy) or resorting to legal options stop fulfiling his illegal demands and compel himwork and provide all necessities of life, which he is bound to provide morally, socially and legallly.

why he has so far not been handed over to the police.
Probably (though you did not clearly say so) your parents are giving him money so he has a reason to expect.
either keep on giving till your grave or hand him over to police.

Husband has no right to demand dowry, demand money, threat for suicide, blackmailing / emotionally blackmailing wife in any way.
As advised, if possible, record such acts and lodge complaint with the police.
Before taking such extreme step, he should be properly counseled, all pros and cons should be explained, relatives should be asked to intervene.
