Legal Question in Family Law in India

How to get devorce

I have strong doubt on the paternity of our child (son). I want to get paternity test by DNA test. But I have heard that wife's consent is required. Is it True? If yes, what is way to get the test?

My wife threatened me to kill me. She and her parents and sister misbehaved many ways with me and my parents and sister. I fear they have a conspiracy to kill me and grab my property as I am a government employee and after my death she will get many benefits. Some of their behaviour is very suspicious. My wife and her child are living with me. They have compelled me to live together by threatening by some peoples against whom we cannot protest.

I am thinking of getting help of personal detectives who can try to get some strong evident to establish the legal action in court. If you recommend this, kindly advise me how I should get the service of detective.

Thanks.

Re: How to get devorce

It seems that you want to divorce your wife and are afraid to do so for reasons known best to you. However you have not given any facts which are relevant - the place where you stay, the place where you were married, your religion, when was the child born, are wife's relatives also staying with you, who else is staying with you apart from you, your wife and the child etc etc. With these facts, a better advise can be given.

However,reply to your queries are -

No you do not need consent of wife for DNA test.Please consult a doctor as to where to get such a test.

Personal detectives can be hired, though they are expensive, and their availability depends on where you stay.
