Hi

It is unfortunate that your in-laws did not reveal the fact of existence of a younger sister to you or your family members at the time of marriage.
Also it is unfortunate that your in-laws nor your wife revealed her true age prior to your marriage.
However, there is no law which stipulates that you cannot marry a woman who is elder than you and the fact of your wife being elder to you cannot be the grounds for filing of divorce.
It has to be either desertion or mutual consent or cruelty for grant of divorce.

Chances are that she might file matrimonial cruelty under DVC Act, dowry and other cases on you to persecute you. A few steps have to be taken to safeguard yourself. We need to know your religion to advise u further on steps to obtain divorce and to be safe.
