Legal Question in Family Law in India
I am married for about 11 months now. My wife who is also working has been demanding foreign trips, jewellery and high end gifts from me. While I have obliged mostly off late if I am not able to meet a demand she runs away to her parents home and stays there for long durations creating deliberate anguish to me. I stay alone here, away from my parents. On 2 occasions her father has also harassed me and threatened me at my home. She has spent almost half of the 11 months since marriage with her parents. She also refused to have a kid with me under the pretext of higher studies. I am seeking divorce now but am wary of the alimony. While both of us work my salary is almost 3 times hers. Her father has already threatened me of false domestic violence accusations and warned me that any attempt to divorce will lead to them seeking significant alimony.
Please guide what are my options to minimise damage in getting out of this nightmare?

The best option for you at this stage is : stay cool and try to pacify her; do not get agigated on her visits to her parents place.
A girl needs to feel secure in her new environment after marriage. If she does not get that feeling, she has to rush back to her old place when she feels protected and secure.
You have not been able to help her "transplantation" in your environment. Try to understand her situation - after having spent her entire childhood and beginning of youth in that environment which has given her happiness and security, she is required a sudden change where she could not receive the same level of feelings - love and affection, happiness and security.
Reconsider your decision with a cool mind. It is too early to think of any legal action.
