Legal Question in Family Law in India

Hi, I was married in 25th Apr 2012. It was an arranged marriage. Me and my wife live separately alone without our parents. There are some misunderstandings and bcoz of which we are quarrelling once in a while. I am scolding her and she is scolding me vice versa, she is scolding me and I am scolding her. Nothing is much serious. She is not at all compromising in any part. But I believe, in an arranged marriage these are very common and will be settled down very soon as time goes on. I never thought of leaving her or giving a divorce for these small quarrels. But before two months she went away with her parents by scolding and abusing me together with her parents(I think, A well matured parents will never take away her daughter by scolding and abusing his son-in-law for such small problems b/w a husband and wife). She usually was very well connected with her parents and her parents involve in everything that goes b/w us. Her father used to call and question me and used to scold me whenever there was a quarrel. Now it is 2 months without any calls b/w the families(not even b/w us). Recently her Father called my Father and said that he will meet. We thought he will somehow make the things get settled, instead he came and gave warning to my father saying that he knows DSP and some police personnel. He also mentioned that "My daughter will scold and beats me if she wants to and that I should not question". By this we can understand how fool he is, he is not trying to compromise the issue and Settle her daughter�s life. He is not only putting her daughter life at stake but also mine. I no more feel like staying with her and her family. There will be another round of discussion which includes me with some middlemen(elders). He is very aggressive so this time, if something goes wrong or if he is not happy with our discussion he is ready to file a case under 498a or Gruha Himsa and take advantage of it. (I can see the possibility for this is very high)

Please suggest me on how I can proceed with this. I am doing a Job in one of the big MNC in India and ours is a well-educated and well cultured family and now I fear that these will be in trouble bcoz of that sense less creature. To mention, in one year of our relationship, we are apart for around 6 months(4 months bcoz of muhoortam or a goodday in the starting + 2 months bcoz of this quarrel) in whole till now(let me know if this will help in any way to get a divorce). Pls help me.

Keep neutral witnesses present on next occasion, who can testify in court in case your in laws file a false case against you. Or some how record (video) the whole meeting, which you can use as evidence to support your case. Or before meeting file a case for divorce and preempt their move and also record their threats in the divorce petition.
