They have all the options under the law to pursue against you. You might have heard about the Domestic Violence Act as well as the provisions under the Indian Penal Code. Your wife and in laws are at liberty to file proceedings against you and your family under the said provisions. As a preventive measure, assuming all the negotiations and parlays have been exhausted, you may move for the Restitution of Your Conjugal Rights, before Court. Further, do keep records of all the communications you have with your in laws, preferably in written form, Emails, sms etc.
Matrimonial disputes require extreme caution and diplomacy to handle.
