Q: Divorce on grounds on mental and physical torture

I am a Hindu , 60 years old man and married to my second wife for 14 years ( after my first wife passed away in year 2002). For last three years my wife is continuously mentally and physically torturing me. She falsely accuses me of having extra marital affair. She often attacks me physically and uses very filthy language in front of my daughter. I have explained her multiple times that I am a loyal husband but she does not listen to me. I think she is not mentally stable. She is very suspicious of my every act and monitors me every hour. At times she hits me with household objects. My wife constantly threatens me that she will make a complaint to police and she is not willing to give me divorce. I cannot tolerate this mental and physical assault at this age. Could you please suggest how can I get divorce from my wife and what evidence I need to have to file for divorce? Also how to prepare or avoid counter harassment case which my wife will file in case I apply for divorce?

In the you does not clear the date on which your wife leave your home or at what period she started living with their parents . The period in which she was reside with their parent they are unable to prove the cruelty against you . As per sec 498of ipc cruelty can not prove when she was already reside with their own parents. From last five years they don't lodge any conplaint against you. You can give an intimation to the nearest police station you reside about your wife behaviour it will help you in future.
