Legal opinion

I had married one year back. It was purely arrange marriage .Now disputes has been increased between us. Now I want divorce but my wife does not want even she threatening to me that she will file a report against me regarding dowry or beaten to her. However I never did like that even I am anti dowry person even not took dowry in marriage. It was simple marriage only. Please tell me there is a way to take divorce and secondly what necessary precaution me should take regarding threatening to me.

Dear kishor , there should be some big issues to go for divorce, mere for some small disputes I will never suggest you to file divorce case , if unnecessary you will do so then on the contrary your wife will file several criminal , civil and dv case against you , and then you yourself will responsible to make your life hell , better is to solve your problem amicabilly by taking help of yours elders or your near and dear ones .

Dont anxiety in filing case/s against your wife or her  parents. Wait some time. If possible, try through elders for amicable settlement of your issue.

The difference of opinion between husband and wife are very common in the wear and tear of life which if given a serious thought, nobody will be able to live a happy married everlasting life.  The marriage as per Hindu law is a very sacred thing hence thinking of breaking it as when you one feels to do it for the minor reasons or over the whims and fancies, no marriage can be saved.  The divorce is not the only solution, because if this girl goes another girl will come with much more graver problems, will you think about divorcing that girl too, where is the end for everything?  Please sit, talk and reconcile the matters and arrive at an amicable solution at the earliest before any devil's advocate start dominating your miconceptions.

Take Adv. Kalaiselvan's advice seriously and try to work things out. One year is a very short period to separate. Try another year and see...

If things do not work, then take a firm decision and let her file all cases she wants to. In fact ask her to go ahead and file these cases and get over with them and then file for divorce. Otherwise years will pass by and you would be tortured ad infinitum.  Remember that in divorce proceedings, the strategy of the wife is like the one in chess: Threat is better than execution to meet some other objectives. She will just keep threatening... You as a husband, if you feel that she is continually threatening even though she knows that you have not done anything to justify the criminal proceedings then take the following course... Make life such a hell for her that she converts her threat into execution. Then spend some time in jail, if required but make sure that there is no evidence that you did anything and that you win all criminal cases. Be smart in your execution. In matrimonial disputes, JO DARA WO MARA.


I do not condone violence, other than in self-defence and nothing stated here is to interpreted any other way. That said, a wife who is threatening perpetually deserves nothing less.

We are the Sr. Citizen parents of only son, Who got married 5 years back. My son is working with some multinational company and living in Jaipur  300 kms away from us parents for last 5  years. They do have a pretty 3 years old our grand son with them. For last 5 years our Daughter in law is continuing staying with her parents at Indore for every 2/3 months and for another 2/3 months at her husbands residence at Jaipur with her mother. I mean either she stays there or her mother stays here at my son's place. She was not employed at the time of marriage but her employbility as regard to her qualification was seen before marriage. After marriage, I as a father in-law motivated her to appear for IAS for which books and study material was sourced for her career progression. On the very 3rd day of study, she conveyed through her husband (My son) not to insist her for studies; and which I did not thereafter. We never stayed with our son for any longer stretch as she never welcomed our stay but during last 3 years of our grand son, we went there for 1/2 days say 2 times in a year. On last Rakhi our DIL (daughter in law)went with her mother to her parents place and did not return. Now our son has apprised us about her misconduct, which can not be said of the housewife. (1) 3 Times she closed the door of bed room with threat to attempt suicide. (2) 1 time she tried to jump from car by abruptly opening the door. (3) One time she left home for 3 hours with the child without any information to my son. (4) One time she left home for about 5 years leaving the child and husband athome and returned at 11pm night. ( The above are only the most critical points, the minor points of dissension have not been mentioned.) Here, I would like to specify that her father is a passive ( with no substantial income) advocate by profession and may implicate us in false cases. His sons marriage is scheduled in JAN-2014. Our DIL is younger to his son and his son is only source of income to the tune of Rs 10000/=pm in the family. My son's marriage was arranged one and within caste and with consent and without any dowry. In view of above attempts by our DIL, I apprehend, she may commit criminality with herself and with my son and grand son too, and therefore we prefer she must return only after law abiding paper work, if not then the filingdivorce petition is the only way out. Please bestow me with the legal opinion to proceed. Thanks & regards

It appears from the descripttion of your DIL provided by you that your DIL needs some psychiatric help. I mean this seriously. Please analyze this situation from this point of view also. I know of cases where matrimonial relationships have blossomed after proper treatment of mental disorder, however minor. 


You should be most concerned about "I apprehend, she may commit criminality with herself and with my son and grand son too," rather than thinking of the legal ramifications of her filing cases. That sentence has some serious connotations. Also, think with an open mind and see if your son is also at fault. There must be something he is doing or not doing that is aggravating the situation further.  Your current situation requires more counselling than advocacy. When she files cases, you can deal with them at that time. There is nothing you can do about them now.
