Hello
Your wife and in-laws have committed unauthorised access and used that information, which is proof of the offence committed by them. You can file a case of unauthorised access against them fr compensation of upto Rs. 1 crore as Section 43 of the Information Technology Act provides compensation upto Rs. 1 Crore. She cannot file a case against you as you did not succeed in committing unauthorised access.
