any pro suicide threat.
if she executes the threat and if the marriage is less than 7 year old then none will listen to you. In such case though you may be innocent, you will be in for 7 years (may be with entire family) if you are not able to prove that you are innosent.

@ sk,
Nothing can be predicted at this stage since we are not astrologers.
Let her execute the threat, divorce is not the proper remedy.
Engage and consult a local lawyer.

All suicide may not mean that the abettor is her husband. it depends on circumstances and suicide notes.
No action on earth can be taken thinking the future incident in mind for sure.
If you want to file divorce suit, go ahead with this without thinking about what will happen in future.

lodge a complaint with the local police and send the letters to all higher officials of the police.It will certainly help you in case she took any action like it.

The good suggestion of Mr Satya Nand Aggarwal could be double edged. A real criminal may inform everybody who could possibly be part of the "jury" about a prevailing threat and later may commit homicide himself and then come out with the plea of " I told you so earlier"
Apprehension of this eventuality has been expressed by the querist himself.

your wife needs medical treatment . visit a psychiatrist . let psychiatrist diagnose whether your wife is suffering from any mental illness .

Go for what Shri Prahakar Singh ji and Shri Sethi ji has advised
This is the best possible course to follow. Possibly the Psychiatrist may find some actual problem which has kept your spouse so highly strung and upset . The doctor then could find a cure and you could look forward to a long happy life

I presume mentally she is taking advantage of UR timid behaviour with threats.That does not mean U should immediately opt for divorce.Take her to a Psychiatrist and he may be succesfull in changing her attitude.Uneccessarily don't run after courts and spoil UR life.

I may like to partially disagree with Mr Barman.
In view of S/304B, The husband is deemed abetter if the suicide is within 7 years of marriage and if he cannot prove that the suicide was not due to dowry related torture.

Legally speaking in the event your wife commits suicide and in her suicidal note she mentions your name, there is no escape for you from abetment to suicide. In case your wife has suicidal tendencies and she takes a worng step, it could lead you to prison without no fault of yours. Most of the aggreesive women in revenge take such steps to ruin their Husbands and his family.The best way is to compromise in life, as relations never die a natural death,

Agreeing broad by with Mr Sainath, I will add that in case she leave suicide notes in your favour you may be (or may be) safe.
In case any adverse note is left by her [or no note is left] then you are bound to be in trouble.

So instead of further ruining UR life act as advised earlier by the experts.

In the divorce suit apart from cruelty, a strong mention about her tendency and threats about suicide to be mentioned so that an advance information to the world about her nature is revealed, rest other steps suggested by experts also can be followed.
