Being mentally harassed by Wife and Father in Law


03-Mar-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hello, nI am residing in Bhubaneswar. Since over 14 months, my wife has been mentally harassing me. We have a boy of 3.5 years old. If I dont respond to her harassment, she makes the life of my child very difficult. Doesnt look after him and ignores him to get my attention to fulfill her demands. I have been happily paying for her education since marriage and she has been perusing PHD since marriage i.e. 4 and half years. She tells her parents that I am not providing her money or food or anything and have been ignoring her and says that my parents hit her and abuse her and all sorts of lies. My parents were government teachers and have never abused or hit anyone. During July 2022, my father in law entered our house completely drunk and abused my parents and myself the entire night. We have this recorded on camera for 4-5 hours. He also have hit me and my mother and my younger brother. He was drunk. He threatened to file dowry case and have everyone arrested. Kindly advise.

In such cases you have immediately gone to lodge an FIR but as of now the law is for women, as such we have to hold tight and drag your in laws in criminal cases but for that we have to know the history of the case and reason for her aggressiveness against you, and her own son so kindly whatsapp me directly because as you have given the gist of the matter.

The day you were hit by your father in law you should have given an FIR against him. That would have helped you at this crucial moment. In such state, You can go for either divorce or judicial separation so as to get relief from this kind of torture by your wife. Even you still can file a complaint case against your father in law now for that incident which happened then. You can also claim for your child's custody from your wife.
