• What can I do if my wife threatens suicide

I am living with my wife and a kid. She just burst over small things. I bought all the things for what she wants. She just continually teased me for what i dont like. Even i tried to quit from the situation and requested her again and again not to do the same but that turned into arguments and then she threat me to do suicide and this is second time. I am living away from my home and parents now it looks like I am going to be in depression, I am already a diabtic patient. If i complain to her parents they never listen to me instead threatened me.
I am not sure what to do. Please help me.

1) Try to get meeting of both sides parents and relatives explain all things what happened till date.

2) If still she is not listening than get one day meeting with family counselor in your city family court.

3) For safe side do inform in police station that she is trying to attempt suicide and she has done this twice. Make a complaint of this and take number from them and not FIR

From what i see your problem is the threats and putting you down for one or the other reason.

The best is address a letter to your wife putting all the facts down including the details of the way she behaves with you as well as time and again threatening to commit suicide, even though she is living under the same roof and also send a copy to her parents and all through registered AD having proof you sent a letter. (You can also address to local police station as well)

A written communication will have effect on her parents as well as in case if your wife tends to commit any act, this letter will be proof of her conduct.

Dear Sir,

Nicely take her to her parents place on some function time and leave her there permanently. Get issue a legal notice stating about the attitude of your wife. Then file a divorce petition. Otherwise you will be under risk. No one can understand mentality of women. Just come out of danger zone

1. Collect evidence of her giving such suicide threats by audio/video recording her conversations.

2. Thereafter meet your doctor and collect prescription from him mentioning thge reason for your depression being 'tension for future consequence on receipt of wife's suicide threats'.

3. Your next step will be to lodge a police complaint against your wife for giving you the said suicide threats to take revenge on you for simple domestic weal and tear.

4. Since the consequence of her eventual suicide with or without leaving a suicide note blaming you for her committing suicide will be very fatal on you, you are required to take precautionary measures as advised above.

If possible you can take her to a marriage counselor and get her counselled on the issues that she may be having inside her mind

If that is not possible, then you may write a letter to her parents about her attitude and suicidal tendency and can inform them that you cannot be held responsible if she really commits suicide.

By endorsing a copy to the local police as well as the police station within her father's residential jurisdiction, you may retain a copy of the complaint as an evidence for future mishaps, if any.

If there is no change in her behavior or attitude, you may think of lodging a criminal complaint against her for the threats she poses and also to file a divorce case on the grounds of mental cruelty.
