Legal Question in Family Law in India

immediately you inform this matter to the police. beside this if the matter is serious you can file a complain u/s107cr.p.c but before doing so you must consult to a experienced lawyer or you may contact with me if you think so.

Dear folk,

First try to counsel her and make her understand to not to commit suicide and explain her that committing suicide is against law and an attempt to commit suicide is punishable by law. If possible keep her out of the house or tel her husband to take her with him. In the mean time file a complaint in near by police station explaining the police officer of the incidents going on in your house.

Thanks,

yes, you should lodge a compalint before the police, however i is advisable that try to resolve the matter amicably

Moral policing is the most difficult task. Your best bet is to take steps in precaution. You may inform (not complaint) the local police authorities that your brother's wife tantrums including threat to commit suicide in the otherwise peaceful family are inhumane, baseless and unwarranted. Police has no time to teach any sense to one. May be writing to a woman welfare organisation or some thing like 'Sanjivini' may help. Or in the alternative, If you all can manage in bringing your brother's family together, that may resolve the issue for good.

first you need to understand the reason behind her threats of suicide and her cribbing. it may be so that other family members are also in a way responsible for her behaviour. you cannot blame her without understanding the whole situation and you are also not staying in the same house in joint family so its easier to be judgmental.

better try n sort this matter within the family as her kids are also having a close relation with yourself and as her husband is not earning much, this also may be the cause of her anxiety. dont treat her and her children like a burden rather take them as your own family members and the problem may be sorted out with intervention of police authorities. moreover, she has a right to reside in the shared household and even the courts cannot come to your rescue on this count. the relationship is there for more than 10 years and now she cannot be stripped off her rights casually. moreover, her husband is not having any problems with her then what is your problem being her brother in law. is it property?

Mr.Rajiv gupta is quite right. Try to resolve the matter amicably among your brother, even then if it is not sort out then you may write an informatory application to the poice about suicide attempts by your bhabi.

Your complaint may not be maintainable in law. Her behaviour may be a result of the deprivation from company and comfort of her spouse for so long. You may need to understand her situation and help her out. It may be better is she is made to live with her husband.
