You can get your marriage annulled since it is your first year of marriage and you won't be called a divorcee after that. Neither your spouse will . Yes they can file dowry case but if you act first then you cannot be arrested and you will be better prepared

Hi dear! Firstly, if you are a Hindu, you are not eligible for filing a divorce petition before the expiry of 1 year of your marriage, except if you can show great depravity on your wife, which I doubt you can. However, if you want to remain safe from litigations on her part, I can tell you ways of doing that. you may consult me in that regard.

It is advisable and prudent to seek a detailed legal consultation from a lawyer having expertise in matrimonial laws. Since she has suicidal tendencies you need to be bit careful and take a legal precautionary measure by filing an Intallah Peshbandi to the concerned authorities

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.
