Legal Question in Family Law in India

Family

I am a 33 yr. old guy working in a PSU. I got married 3 yrs. ago. We have a 1.5 yr. old girl child. My wife does not want to adjust my parents. She abuses them. She does not allow me to talk to my family. If I talk to them she becomes voilent and abuses me, damages household items. Once, she has burnt my back by throughing boiling milk on me. She is constantly threatening me to implicate in false dowry case if I do not stop talking to my parents. I love my daughter very much and I do not want to leave them. But, I am very much puzzled how to make the things right. What are the legal action I can take to protect my family and myself from her abuses? What are the legal protection can I get if she implicate me in false dowry case? Please, advice me what should I do in such circumstances.

Re: Family

you can file a petition for restitution of conjugal rights and the same can also be filed even though the wife is staying in the same house but depriving you of marital bliss. this petition would not only be a source of relief to you but also prove to be a good defence in case she files any false case under dowry laws.

Re: Family

The fault lies in your 'wanting' your wife to adjust with your parents. If you keep involving yourself with your parents and she keeps involving herself with her parents, how will you and her make a life ?

She is not your enemy. She is just wanting more attention from you for herself and the child. You may need to reduce your attention towards your parents and pay more attention to your family which you have made by choice.

The only legal protection I may suggest at this stage is : keep your wife happy. Never ever give her a chance to be angry or annoyed over your actions. Take her into confidence in everything you may want to do in life. There is no better protection in law than abundance of LOVE AND AFFECTION for your wife.

This is social matter rather legal. Law cannot help in love and affection. Give more attention to wife. Try to take care of rights of parents as well as your family, i.e., wife. Family needs more attention, but don't avoid parents. Don't leave parents without the things they need, and give more time to family.
