If the behaviour of your partner is intolerable towards you can anytime send a complaint regarding your grievances in writing to the police station according to your jurisdiction. And if you wish to go legal and if there's no scope of living together then rather stretching the relationship you should file for contested divorce under the ground of cruelty. I would suggest you to go with mutual divorce because it's cost effective and ends up in a maximum of six months.

If you feel the marriage has reached an irreconcilable stage, it may be more prudent to consider initiating divorce proceedings. The statements and conduct on her part can be appropriately placed on record as grounds for cruelty. While she may choose to seek remedies available to her under law, we are well-positioned to contest the same effectively. Family Courts in India are mindful of all relevant circumstances and generally take a balanced and fair approach without passing any adverse orders prematurely. Taking the first step in such situations often provides a certain strategic advantage.

If your wife is threatening or coercing you regarding divorce, it is important to know that no one can be forced to stay in a marriage against their will. You can file for divorce on valid legal grounds such as cruelty, mental harassment, or irretrievable breakdown of marriage. Her threats to damage your family’s reputation may amount to mental cruelty, which can strengthen your case. You can also consider filing a police complaint or seek protection if you're being blackmailed or threatened. Consult us to assess the best course of action based on facts and documentation.

Such threats and blackmail by the wife would constitute mental harassment. It would be advisable to file a divorce and related cases as soon as possible in order to ensure that you have the advantage of putting up your story before the courts first. Once the courts pronounce the judgment of divorce, they will be binding on both parties. Please feel free to reach out in order to get personalised advice.
