Legal Question in Family Law in India

Hi I am working in UAE from last 2 months. I got married 8 months ago. Me and my wife have no good relation, always she talks about money, sepration from my parents and her paresnts also support her in all this. I have been badly mantely harrashed by them. Once i was coming to UAE for the job i told my wife and her parents clearly that first six month i have trainings and other formalities then i after i will bring her with me. I have taken advance too from my company to pay for the rent of a flat and other things. Now my wife and her parents are thretening me and my parents either take her with me in UAE or asking me to come back to India.

They are saying that they will file a complaint against me and my parents if i didn't do so. I need divorce from my wife and indirectly they also want the same. They are mentaly torchering me and my parents as well as they are planning to file a false case against my me and my parents for dowry or anything else in which they can involve my parents too.

I don't know what should i do and how can i protect my parents from all this.

My parents both are govt. employee and very respectable in our town. If they file any false case against me and my parents then my parents can arrest and will loose their job. I request you to suggest me how can protect my parents from any false case. I can bear anything but i don't want being my parents they will suffer like this.

Please help me and tell me the way to protect my parents. My wife and her parents very well know that we have very good family backgroud and prestige so before taking divorce they want to ruin everything and anyhow want to put the blame on us only.

On perusing the contents of your Query, there is nothing to suggest that your Wife and in-laws have initiated any action so far against you or your parents, other than their mere threats.

Before you think of initiating any action from your end, you have to decide as to how you want to go ahead as regards the relationship with your Wife. Remember, this is the typical case which a vast majority of the Gulf workers face, especially the educated lot.

Dont worry and it isnt just like that your parents will be arrested and lose their job. There has to be some solid evidence against them, for having committed some punishable offence.

Why not bring down your wife to UAE, then I am sure everything would get settled. You can try this option, before contemplating anything else. All the best.

The matter is serious and your parents may actually face serious troubles. You should try to reason with your wife and her parents and persuade them to bear with the situation for some more time till your return. You may send some money to your wife for meeting her expenses and send some gifts for them so that they are pacified. No legal action is warranted at this stage except that you should try to create a friendly / positive environment and maintain good relationship with them.
