Dear all,
my earlier thread was:
https://www.lawyersclubindia.com/forum/Intimidation-by-wife-her-family-members--43442.asp
After taking some of the valuable advice from this forum, I did tried to patch up with my wife. But she is the same. Some incidents happened after the last post in my earlier thread as below:
My wife is still in her parents home:
I tried calling her she never answered or returned my call.
Sent her many sms, but never replied.
Whenever I called her parents, they gave some excuses that she's taking bath, she's gone to temple etc. When i asked them why she was not answering the calls or replying to my messages, they would give me a time to call her. When I call her at that time, she never answers or returns my call.
4 days back was our 2nd wedding anniversary day. In the morning, i tried to call her. She did not answer. Then i sent her a message with our wedding anniversary wishes. She did not even reply to that message. Later in the day when i called her, she did not answer. I called her father, she gave the same excuse that she was taking bath. I requested him to ask her to call me back. Immediately after my call i told one of my friends in India to call her on his mobile. She immediately answered the call! The whole day she did not call me or even sent a message in reply to my wishes.
My mother also tried to talk to my wife, but she refused.
In such circumstances, i only understand that she's no more interested to live with me. After all her insane behaviours, false accusations using abusive words, I am now fed up in taking further steps in patching up with her.
It is clearly understood from their behaviour their intention to extract money from me. Actually, they are indirectly forcing me to take the first step to move into a legal battle, wherein they can frame a false case of Domestic violence against me and my family members as I have slapped my wife twice.
Such being the situation, i would be grateful if anyone clarifies my following queries:
1) If I file a divorce case at the first instant citing mental cruelty by my wife, will the court take up this for hearings?
2) If not, how to begin in the first instant?
3) Considering that my wife would file a DV case against me, what are the precautions should I take to safeguard me and my family members?
4) If the court uphelds that having slapped my wife amounts to domestic violence and passes judgement in my wife's favour, what would be the amount of punishment?
5) In case if I am sentenced to jail based on the judgement, what would be the status of our marriage? Do I get a divorce automatically after I complete my imprisonment?
Thanks in advance!
