Mental Harassment by wife, how to proceed legally

401 votes

Dealing with marital issues can be challenging, and it's important to approach the situation carefully. Here are a few suggestions to consider:

1. Communication: Open and honest communication is key in any relationship. Try to have a calm and sincere conversation with your wife to express your concerns, frustrations, and desire for a healthier relationship. Seek to understand her perspective as well.

2. Couples Counselling: Seeking professional help through couples counselling or therapy can be beneficial. A trained counsellor can provide guidance and facilitate constructive communication between you and your wife. Consider suggesting this option to your wife and see if she is open to it.

3. Mediation: If communication between you and your wife becomes difficult, you can consider involving a mediator. A mediator acts as a neutral third party who helps facilitate communication and find mutually agreeable solutions. Mediation can be an alternative to counselling or a step before considering legal options.

4. Legal Advice: If the situation persists and becomes unbearable, it may be necessary to consult with a family lawyer. They can guide you on the legal aspects and help you understand your options, including divorce. Mental harassment is grounds for divorce and judicial separation under the Hindu Marriage Act. To prove mental harassment by wife�it is advised to gather evidence of such mental harassment, such as emails, text messages, or witness testimonies, to support your case.
   
   Remember, every situation is unique, and it's important to make decisions based on what you believe is best for your well-being and the well-being of your family.

Dear Sir,

I understand your concern. But there is no law as such that protects husbands from wives. Better you conduct mutual talks with your wife and her parents and try to settle the issues. If the issues are not settling even after your so many attempts, file for divorce under cruelty grounds in the jurisdictional family court where your marriage was solemnized and get rid of your wife.To be on a safe side anticipating your wife filing any criminal cases against you, collect all evidences against your wife's harassment in the form of audios and videos and file NC complaint in the jurisdictional PS where you are presently living. This may help you if your wife approaches police to file false criminal cases against you. Hope this helps.
