Wife complained to police with harassment charges
03-Mar-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My wife of 13 years has given a complaint to police that she is mentally harassed in marriage. Truth is we don't have a normal husband-wife relationship for last few years because she has a narcissistic personality disorder. She is claiming that I and my family have harassed her from day one but she told police in her complaint that she does not want to separate. There are no charges of dowry or physical abuse of any kind, which is the truth as well. Police have been calling us for counseling where she tells all sorts of lies, in the last meeting she agreed to consider divorce with mutual consent but now she is again saying that I don't want to separate. If I do not agree to her demand in front of police, what can happen to me? I want to go for divorce.
The Petition for Divorce by Mutual Consent can be filed only when both husband and wife mutually agree for the divorce and otherwise not.
Further it is your right to agree or not with her demand in front of Police and Police cannot force you to do so. Police can try to sort this issue amicably but ultimately it will be your call. If settlement doesn’t work out, you can file a contested divorce petition before Family Court instead of Divorce by mutual consent. If you have any apprehensions that she might get a false FIR registered against u or your family you can seek anticipatory bail from court
