Hi Sir/Madam,
My wife is patient of depression & is taking medicine to control depression, which she is caring with her as daily dose. My father in law had never informed me about her daughter disease before my engagement or before my marriage to her daughter. As I was not familiar of the disease & symptoms�. My marriage was done 1 year 8 month earlier. My father in law has cheated me & my family by not informing about her daughter disease before the engagement /marriage & had taken the marriage in place as scheduled.
On reaching My place she started quarrelling with me on daily basis & breaking the kitchen items & cell phone. Now, she is threatening to me & my family that she will file a case against me & my family. In the mean time my father in law Mr mother in law and brother in law are also threatening to me.
In this situation if anything happens to my wife then myself & my family members will not be held responsible. as she is patient of depression & is undergoing treatment for last 5 years and before my engagement date.
Note:- I have all doctor prescription and threating call by her.
Please suggest, what can I do?

Depression is not a disease which may be a ground for divorce, rather it require to be taken care and treatment. Now she (your wife) is your responsibility and liability, which no parent shall disclose before marriage.
You will have to add on to it (depression) with other acts of cruelty with you and your family, if you have made up your mind to get rid of her. However, divorce is not the proper solution to the problem.
Consult a local lawyer for proper guidance and proceeding.

Discussion at length with some local lawyer by showing the prescription is suggested for you to get appropriate solution. As in such cases, matter being serious enough, any solution on casual queries may not work on hit & trial basis.

Try to save marriage, take help of relatives of both sides.
If possible discuss with her parents to cooperate and get her medically treated. It may take time.
If they do not cooperate, gather solid proofs of her cruelty and can file case for divorce on the basis of cruelty from her.
Other side may file cases of DV, Dowry etc. against you and your relatives, you have to face.

Depression not a big deal dear friend as to either consider its non-disclosure by your in-laws as "cheating" or to jump into divorce proceeding unless you have some other valid reasons for not being able to adjust to save your marriage. These days, depression is not only curable but is more or less found in plenty. Therefore, before going for divorce citing such flimcy ground, one must try to find if there is an iota of chance an amicable patch up with you wife to begin afresh. Moreover, you have only stated your side of the story and remember that your wife may also have another side of the issue. I suggest you to involve some elders of your community/families to find a mutually acceptable solution aimed at saving your family life. Do not go to any Lawyer at this stage.
