Harassment by wife

Hi,

I got married on Feb,2013. It was an arranged marriage. However, after marriage from the very first day my wife started telling me that she will go back to her parental home. She started pointing out all the moments when my mother is angry because of the household chores not done correctly. But she never stressed upon the gifts mother gave or anything good that my mother has done to my wife. Now by April she went to her dads home and told me she is not going to come back to our house. I tried to make her understand in many ways, but she wont. Even I met her once in this time period and she agreed to come back but her mom ( standing outside the cafeteria we met) told her as we came out that if she comes with me then they will break relationship with her. So she moved again to her dads house. Its been one month I have send n number of sms and called her, messaged in facebook but still she is not intended to come back. Initially her parents told that they cannot send their daughter back  to our house and asked for seperate arrangement ; but as I told them the very next day( after 24 hours) that I am ready to live seperate from mom and dad, her dad told me its late and they will see what can be done over time! I have even tried to bring both the family memebers under one shelter for discussion in a local legal help center organised by municipality near to her dads palce, but they did not turn up. I have send emails requesting her to come back, to which she replied that I need to talk to her dad regarding the same. Now, I am little afraid about the situation about what they want as because I already told her dad that I will live seperately but he informed its late and even told her the same to come back.I told her that we will first move to some  immediate place  then move into a comfortable place within weeks. I even told her that I will take a transfer in job, but she is reluctant. I have already testified that she does not trust me anymore for which the relationship seems to be a dead one.   I am helpless kindly suggest me ways to proceed from here so that I can end this relationship as soon as possible even before a year and also throw some lights in alimony I might need to pay considering our marriage was only for 2 and half months, she has done postgrad and age late 20's, living with parents in their owned house.

If she had to go back to her parental home, why did she get married to you?

She started pointing out all the moments when my mother is angry because of the household chores not done correctly.

Mother will be angry, what's wrong in it, its her home too, ie your wife's all have to share work and do.

But she never stressed upon the gifts mother gave or anything good that my mother has done to my wife.

 

How will she tell anything good at all about ur mom?  The moment your mom got angry at her as she is not good at looking after household chores, she became a villain, dont you understand that???


Now by April she went to her dads home and told me she is not going to come back to our house.

 

If she had to go back to her parental home and not come back, why did she get married to you?


I tried to make her understand in many ways, but she wont.

 

All training given by MIL.

 

Even I met her once in this time period and she agreed to come back but her mom ( standing outside the cafeteria we met) told her as we came out that if she comes with me then they will break relationship with her.

 

See I told you its MIL tuition.

 

So she moved again to her dads house. Its been one month I have send n number of sms and called her, messaged in facebook but still she is not intended to come back.

 

Get a track record of what sms you sent from telephony company, all printouts.  All screenshots of FB messages sent.


Initially her parents told that they cannot send their daughter back  to our house and asked for seperate arrangement ; but as I told them the very next day( after 24 hours) that I am ready to live seperate from mom and dad, her dad told me its late and they will see what can be done over time!

 

New she would or her parents would ask for seperate accomodation.

 

I have even tried to bring both the family memebers under one shelter for discussion in a local legal help center organised by municipality near to her dads palce, but they did not turn up.

 

Nah, they wont come.

 

I have send emails requesting her to come back, to which she replied that I need to talk to her dad regarding the same.

 

Take printouts of e-mails sent and recieved.  Will be useful in the future.

 

Now, I am little afraid about the situation about what they want as because I already told her dad that I will live seperately but he informed its late and even told her the same to come back.I told her that we will first move to some  immediate place  then move into a comfortable place within weeks. I even told her that I will take a transfer in job, but she is reluctant.

 

Kudos.

 

I have already testified that she does not trust me anymore for which the relationship seems to be a dead one.  

 

Yes it is.

 

I am helpless kindly suggest me ways to proceed from here so that I can end this relationship as soon as possible????

 

ASAP??? Ok, ask how much she wants, money... arrange for it, ask her to sign MCD papers, get rid of headache.


even before a year

 

Before a year, not possible, one year must be complete, until then send a lawyer notice asking her to come back, failing which you will be forced to apply for divorce.


and also throw some lights in alimony I might need to pay considering our marriage was only for 2 and half months,


1 day or 1 year or 10 years, once marriage done, done.  Alimony has to be paid.


For this 1/3rd of your take home income will be taken into account.


second her educational qualifications, salary income etc will be taken into acount and some alimony will be fixed.

 

she has done postgrad and age late 20's, living with parents in their owned house.


Best way ahead is MCD, as contested divorce case takes hell lot of time to get over 5-6 years, by the end of it you would have ended up paying money to lawyer and to her also and also end up paying lumpsum money by end of it via permanent alimony.


So better pay now, get rid of headache.


Do browse through family law section of LCI, you will get many answers that are arising in your head as of now.

Thanks for the reply! Its indeed helpful. But I have heard  that if a marriage can be proved as dead it can be ended or can committ divorce as per some amendment of supreme court India, is it true? also about the alimony in this protal only I have read that judges do consider factors like which I have raised while considering alimony. If a girl is 27-29 years of age and taken for granted I have to pay 30% alimony, if I go for 1 time payment then for how many years do I have to pay?

I am not able to make out what you are pointing at.


First decide on what you want.

 

It is you who has to decide what you want, divorce?  or reunification.

 

Finally, you want divorce.


And that is not easy to get, even MCD is also not easy to get, lot of possiblities are there, and anything can happen.


You are asking too many questions before jumping into water.


First file for divorce based on desertion.


Alimony you have to pay if your wife is not having any source of income, if she is having source of income you will have to prove it, along with that you will also have to submit your income proof so that court will have a fair view of what is actual earning of both parties and based on that will decide on alimony.


Lumpsum alimony ie permanent alimony how much she wants she will tell, that nobody can tell in advance.

At the most if your wife asks 1 crore hard cash, then if you are not able to pay 1 crore, you may ask court's intervention in arriving at a reasonable figure.

if wife is already a goverment servent , and leaving seprateley from last two month from her husband...

husband don't want divorce , wife want divorce...in this sitution alimony / maintance expense question will arise...

read your story.  It is difficult to gather who is more woring your mother or wife.  But both are wrong.  Your descripttion indicates that you desire reconciliation and if you really desire you will succeed. Peace is never constly and you appear to be ware of the same and as soon as your wife gets aware reconciliation will be there..  So stop thinking of divorce. You case doe snot appear to be dead end.

 

these cafeterias are now also working as a cusion against breaking marriages.

How can he file divorce on desertion ?

Should not it be 2 years?

Will not his petition be rejected, if he makes desertion as ground ?

thanks for all your suggestion,but I dont really found the problemwith my mother and also I dont think I have mentioned it also. It sher who is not adjusting to situation while I am giving assurance and her parents rather than being in a mood to discuss; acting rude towards me and my family. She went to her dads home of her own after repeatatively trying she is sticking to her point to live separate and even when I asked her to come first and w'll stay in some temporary accomodation first and then settle in a proper fashion, she is not finding it comfortable. Even before I tried to call her dad in order to sit for discussion related to living separate, but her dad said its late and when I asked what exactly they want: he informed time will see to it in a rude fashion! Now do you people still think there are roomfor re-unification, if it is, I am ready but in reality I don't think. Kindly suggest what else can be done while her words are not definite as she cannot implement the same, and her parents acting indifferent and very rude for which now I am thinking twice to approach them!!

Sam the anony (Executive)     23 May 2013

My intention to raise question here is to find a solution, may whatever it is! So please suggest!! but please read it properly and suggest I ahve tried my level best to be unified with her as I do like her, but dont really know what she really thinks!! If possible you can also throw some lights what are the possible steps they can opt for as I know that they are now consulting lawyears!!
