Legal remedy in case wife is threatening for Suicide
22-Oct-2023 (In Family Law)
I am married for 11 years. After a few months of marriage, my wife and parents didn't gel well and coincidentally we moved to different city leaving parents behind. For 3 years all was well but then my wife developed depression. I supported her and she came out of it after 2 years. But since then she has developed a lot of unreasonable hatred for my parents and brother. She also developed nagging habit and blaming others for every silly reason, she has started abusive language for my parents (they currently stay in another city and visit us for a month. I have been managing this but now there is a bigger issue that for every argument she threatens to commit suicide. Every time I calm her down and she remains fine for few days but then again the same thing. I am worried that she is using this as an emotional blackmail. It's a stressful situation and very difficult for me to manage alongwith the job. Can somebody please advise what legal action I can take. I don't want to go for divorce.
She need medical care and attention. She needs counselling. What about your ages? You are not mentioned about kids.
If you do not have kids, then it may be one reason for her abnormal behaviour. You take her for marital counselor or a lady doctor in your city so that some possible change you may get. Mention about suicidal idealization . Instead of legal action, you will be protected legally.

Hi if you does not want to go for divorce then, next time when ever she threatens you at that time you make a record in your phone and then go to the nearest police station, and file a complaint against her, then police will call her and will give counsel to her and they take statement that, she never commits suicide. keep that paper for evidence. then might be she get fear of that letter because she had written in police station, and if any things unfortunately happens nothing will be problem for you.

Hi
You can file a suit for judicial separation on the grounds of cruelty and harassment.
Judicial separation is different from divorce in the sense that it is a prelude to divorce and parties can think and rectify on what went wrong and how they need to be corrected.
The tenure of judicial separation is one year and if differences still subsist, then divorce will be the only option left.
As such your wife who has come out of depression, should ideally be thankful of you.
Also as per law, your wife cannot demand that you should stay away from your parents/ take care of your parents. Law is clear that son needs to take care of his parents and his wife and children in equal terms.

Sir,
Next time when your wife threatens of committing suicide, record her threatening statements. This may be of your help in the longer run if any adverse circumstances arise. In the meanwhile, visit your jurisdictional PS under whose limits you are residing along with your wife and lodge a non cognizable complaint of threatening against your wife. The police will not register an FIR but will make an entry in their daily register. If at all in future, your wife really commits suicide, you will on a safer side. As of now, take your wife to a psychiatrist and treat her. She may become normal again.
