Re: marriage problem

It is upto your brother to take decision in the present situation and only then any advise could be given.If the situation is bad then there is no reason to continue with the realtion and go for Divorce.There are preventive measures to protect other members of the family.Contact with all details.

Re: marriage problem

You can file divorce petition on ground of such mental torture and cruelty.

I understand it all started becaue of your brothers negligence in the beginning of not being faithful to her wife, and i understand if a women losses faith in her husband or knows that he has deceived her, that there is no worst then her. Instad of divorce i advise your brother to calm her down as all those incedents would be in her mind and she would have not forgotten that and that is how she is reacting like that, i beleive.

So try to work out the matter. Divorce is neither good for your brother or for her wife

This is more a moral advise then a legal advise.
