• False allegations by the bride & her father

I am married in February 2018. Before the marriage itself the bride's father was arrogant & abusive during the wedding purchases. We decided to all off the marriage alliance that time itself by us. But as the bride is motherless, her relatives pleaded & we proceeded with the marriage.
Actual problems started on the marriage day itself. During marriage ceremony itself in the pandal she was misbehaving.Her nature is to dominate others as she dominates her father & brother & only instructs not listens to others.Otherwise,she will call her father to shout at us.
After coming home she called her father who is a goonda & her brother & asked them to get all of their family friends.
She told us that she will kill each one of us & bury all of us & provoked me " you are scared of my people coming here,hence you are sitting in the room by wearing bangles". Meanwhile, her father & brother came & she started telling him in a very low tone what has happened in the religious place, by adding spices.My parents told her to be louder, but never. Then her father,shouted to the pitch of his voice & started abusing all three of us so badly & even tried to manhandle me.He told that tomorrow he will put a tent & keep a panchayat. He did so. He brought his family friends & a battalion of 25 to 30 goondas to my house & started abusing us & adding false allegations against us not allowing us to speak. We were mute sufferers.His family friends also spoke abusive words& attempted to manhandle me & my mother. 
I have spoken some offensive words like I will remarry if you are with your same arrogance, but all these under provoking of her arrogant & provocative words.
As ours is a descent family, even our neighbour never knew whether we are at home or not.These 2 incidents have created a panic in me & my parents. Later the girl has been taken by her father. Till today she never returned.So fr, we married life was not consummated.She hardly was at home for 4 days & created havoc in our minds.
Yesterday they came & he started abusing even used abusive language against my mother, when I told them that I am not expecting any change in attitude & behaviour of the girl, so I am not in a position to cooperate with her, as due to these mental agony m health is deteriorating & also not able to do justice to my job. Me & my parents are getting suicidal tendency because of her & her father.
Her father was wild & shouted that it is not the end, still lot of things are there you people should experience from us.He might file false dowry harassment case against us.Or he might murder us.
Kindly, advice me on this problem for a divorce. We are scared of her & her father for her cruel behaviour.We dying 1001 deaths a day. She even told yesterday so many things that I am impotent, not worth living etc, we never told anything fearing her might attack us with abuses or physically.

I is hardly 2 months of our marriage. Can I divorce her now.Please advice.

1) You can apply for marriage if annulment, so you will not called as divorcee in future.

2) Narrate all your problems in the filing of the case and you may not like the bride from day one , because of her father he is a gunda and because of his fear you had married with his daughter.

You cannot file for divorce since marriage has taken place just two months back. Then option left to you is to lodge a complaint with jurisdiction police station stating the harassment meted out by your wife and her relatives also state them they have threatened to kill you people and if anything happens to your family they will be responsible.

Also file a suit for injunction restraining your wife or her parents relatives from entering your home and after period of one year file for divorce.

This is too early period to decide about initiating action for divorce.

It should be one year or more from the date of marriage for filing a divorce petition.

Since the marriage has not been consummated and she is refusing to conjugal relationship, you can file a petition for annulment of marriage on the same grounds.
