In laws have kept my wife hostage and torturing her what can i do


04-Jan-2023 (In Family Law)
We did court marriage on 9 december 2016 against the wish of my wife's family members without informing them, and planned to do social marriage on 17 january 2017, during this period my wife stayed back at her paternal home with her family, but some how her parents came to know about this and since then they are torturing her physically and mentally. they kept her like hostage and ceased her mobiles, i do not have any means of communication with her. she left one letter outside her home (we planned this earlier if something like this happens she will leave one letter stating the situation) and as per that letter they are beating her like hell and pressurizing her to quit the court marriage. even her father told he will send me to jail. now she is worried and to keep me safe from her parents she is even willing to call the marriage off. what should i do kindly suggest. anonymous

For physical or mental torture you can bring this fact to the notice of the police. If she is not minor she do have the right to choose her partner. If her parents want to object the marriage let them do officially not by torturing her.
There are other angles too...
For now an fir stating the facts would help you keep things in the track

Ask your wife to complain before the Police by lodging an FIR drafted by good lawyer. You can also make complain before the Police as you are her legal husband. contact any good lawyer of our area immediately.
