There are two things in such cases, firstly if the mediation between both parties fail, the Police can refer the wife to file formal complaint with the judicial magistrate of the area for complaint under the Protection of Women from the Domestic Violence Act,2005 wherein she can claim protection order against the husband and other respondents named in her complaint, maintenance and residence order to be provided by the husband and finally the custody of children or protection order for children in her custody. The second thing which police can do is to register the FIR under section 498A , 406 IPC against the husband for cruelty and misappropriation of her Istridhan or dowry item by the husband. In such case there should be sufficient evidence like medical evidence of her inflicted physical or mental harm by the husband, eye witnesses to all charges levied against the husband etc. In any case the husband need to be in touch with local senior and experienced Gurgaon lawyer to workout his case of matrimonial dispute and get relief from all these trouble.

Hi, since they are not staying together with you , they cannot be included in the FIR ..If the women police include thier name , the quashing regarding the same can be filed in high court under section 482 Crpc
