@author,
assuming you and your family are fine,
if she is not living with you, then there is something wrong with HER/HER FAMILY. she is a grown up adult and should know what is expected from a married life.
In india, girl marries INTO HUSBAND's family so naturally she will not like a few things - nothing surprising there. it is a differnt house and different people. Thats why she normally has to make some efforts to fit in. This is the expectation since generations, if they dont agree they should've clarified it BEFORE marriage not after.
EVEN if she has issues with you, your family or anything, she should discuss it with you/your parents or atleast her parents and they should help in resolving this issue. RUNNING AWAY from her husband doesnt solve any problem and doesnt help anyone understand what her real issue is. With this attitude, she will run away from ANY GUY unless and until he satisifies ALL her conditions, which will never happen.
Since she and her family have hardly made any attempt to make this marriage work, it seems they are not serious about hte marriage or its commitments. Or there is something seriously wrong about them that they havent disclosed to you.
WHAT YOU CAN TRY: You have to wait to complete 1 year first - in that time, try ALL YOU CAN to find out what her problem is. You can be direct in discussion or clever. Take help from others, discuss many things not just your marriage, you may find hints about what their real issue is. Suggest marriage counseling (she may not like it :).
If it is possible to resolve it well and good. But such immature and demanding people will rarely change, you have to live with it all your life or go for divorce after a year.

The moment a wife goes back to her parents, fingers are automatically pointed at husband/his family. Even on this portal where a lot of real issues are discussed,
In reality, the %age of wives ill-treated at their matrimonial home is VERY LESS, a quick look around your own neighborhood and your relatives would prove it. Most women are happy and content -I have not heard any scream, nor have I seen any sad face around. And that too in so many years.
Even our dhobi and doodhwala's respect and love their wives.
Of course, it happens in pockets, and putting all that together into a table or a chart makes it look big.
But these days wives running away, filing a fake case etc., is growing by the minute. Soon it will OVERTAKE the real issue of actual harassment.

Ex: If the wife doesnt like the size of TV in her husband's house, she has every right to go back to her parents. Allegations of ill-treatment to follow.
