using abusive language, threaten to commit suicide and alleged for extra marital affairs, all are cruelty against the husband, most important cruelty is slapping to husband and you may file a divorce case based on cruelty against her before the Family Court U/s 13(1)(ia) of Hindu Marriage Act-1955.

1. Giving threats of suicide , filing false cases and raising unfounded allegations of adultery are good grounds for divorce for which you can file the same.

2. Try to find out if there is any specific reason which is causing trouble to to her and if the ame can be rectified you can do the same.

3. Otherwise try to settle amicably and go for mutual divorce.

Constantly nagging, hurling abuses, giving threatening calls saying she will commit suicide or file false cases,physical assault etc., constitute grounds for cruelty.

You may proceed with filing a contested divorce case. The pleadings narrating the events chronologically would be enough and you need not be worried about the documentary evidences at this stage.

Consult a lawyer in the local on further issues.
