1) record her threats

2) inform your wife that you have no objection if she visits her parents but don't disturb son school routine

3) wif e threatening husband to put him and his parents behind bars amounts to mental cruelty

4) wife abusing husband amounts to mental cruelty

5) you can file for divorce on grounds of mental cruelty

6) since your child is only 3 years old you would not get custody of your child but can get visitation rights

7)welfare of child is paramount consideration

1.Any litigation you bring would complicate this relations further and may beyond repair.

2.Talk to your wife in person and try to settle this amicably.

3.. Take her to any holiday trip and resolve this .

Hello,

If in case she has left your society then you can file a case for restitution of conjugal rights, otherwise there is no legal way by means of which you can make her come to the good path.

Otherwise you can arrange for some mediation session in presence of some elderly members of the family and also in presence of some advocate.

This might help you in a way.

You may try for reconciliation by roping in elders from both sides to solve this issue.

If there is no amicable solution arrived then you may even agree to live with her in a separate house at least for the sake of the child and its education.

If this solution is also not possible then you have no option than to think about dissolving the marriage by a decree of divorce.

If you dont want divorce then you may file a petition for restitution of conjugal rights is she is not returning.

What can be done if a criminal appeal based on recordings be made

I don't want divorce... Just want to get the wife in a good path without applying for a divorce.....

From your contents she appears not to be a polite and humble housewife who will show any interest in running the married life smoothly and happily.

If you can manage the hard situation for ever then you can proceed with your decision to wait for her become alright and return to the matrimonial fold automatically.

In the meantime she may devastate you by filing plenty of false cases including dowry harassment etc.

Decide and take wise decision at right time.
