Legal Question in Family Law in India

Sir,

I have been married for past 15 months. I past one year I have been at the receving end of my wife Brutalities. She consistently harasses me mentally and occasionally hits me. She is not nice to my old parents and siblings. She is earning good and claims ownership of everything in the house even though when she has never cobntributed in running the house. I did not receive any dowry but she claims simple gifts like a platinum ring and a gold chain were part of dowry.

She freely mingles with other men inspite of my reservations against it just to mentally torture me. Of Late she has been thretaing me with suicide and implicating my family in harassment and Dowry case. She has written three suicides notes in past 1 month but never executed the threat so far.

Q1- How can I insulate my family particularly my old oparents from future misgiving of my wife ?

Q2- What are the Legal options I have if she goes ahead with 498a ?

Thanks,

XYZ
