Wife want divorce what can I do

Please visit some marriage counselor and psychiatrist to address your problem. There are paid counselors and you can get free advice at women cell. It is not a legal issue as yet. As you have yourself stated, try for reconciliation through the counselors, doctors or some family members/friends.

sir,

you can file for pre litigation and seek settlement if any, but in case your wife is adamant to go head with divorce case. than you have to defend it in court.

But for your wife also it is not easy to take divorce as contested divorce proceedings are too lengthy and it is not easy that the verdict will come in her favour only.

Your wife cannot force you to take divorce untill there are valid grounds against you as per law. If all is well on your part and you want to live with her, I think she must get medical treatment immediately. You may have to find a way yourself maybe through her parents etc.
She may report a complaint to the Police against you but if you are clean you will not have to undergo trouble. That is my personal experience because complaints with regard to family matters / matrimonial issues are undertaken by Women Cell as per their area / jurisdiction. Even they may summon you for a couple of times and try to resolve the issues as that is their primary objective. As far as lease is concerned, as it is in your name, she cannot throw you out of the house, but still you are not the owner of that property. So it does not matter much as far as you want to live with her and it is your responsibility to maintain her where ever she lives untill you both are divorced.
I think best way is to discuss and resolve things within the family and close relatives as it does not seem that the matter needs legal support .

take all your records of your wife ill treatment with u by recording voice of her and making video to keep yourself on safe side its a sign that ur wife will definitely want you to suffer a lot and also collect all the medical reports of her mental illness and other medical problems for ur future protection and only after these precaution u should hope for reconciliation.
