consult a psychiatrist
2) based on doctor report your wife should take the prescribed medicine
3) inform police about wife constant threats and attempt to commit suicide
4)consult a family counsellor to resolve your differences
5) if wife blames you for her attempt to suicide police would file case against you
You can file a Complaint to the police regarding her suicidal tendencies and medical papers if any.
If the Police based on her or her parents statement register FIR you and your parents may be arrested so it's advisable in such situation to take anticipatory bail from court.
Secondly it seems that your wife may be suffering from some illness in such situation take a doctor report and file for divorce and seek custody of your children from court. Since in future if she harms herself and dies your family will be put to hardship so better apply for divorce
1. To save yourself from future legal implications in the event she indeed commit suicide it is essential that you take good care of you.
2. Take her regularly to doctor and get her treated and keep all the proof of her treatment.
3. The care and usual love and affection may every well cure her disease to large extent.
4. If not then also you can not be falsely accused of any offence.
1) Its totally depends upon her statement given to police at the time of investigation, accordingly that statement police will take action against you.
2) For future legal course of action you try to give information that wife had tried attempt to suicide and if same incident happen's you will be not responsible for it.
Sir, first of all inform the police about her suicide attempt and her previous attempts before marriage.
Secondly get a report of Psychiatrist and if possible get her regular counselling and therapy sessions.
Further keep her in constant care and get her statements recorded before police that you or your family are not responsible in any way.
If she give these statements you all are protected no matter what her parents say and i can advise you after taking due care keep her with you her family might be a possibility can influence her but when she is living with you then care must be there.
Firstly, there has been a presumption in the law that if the wife commits suicide or attempt for the within the preriod of seven years of the marriage then first finger will go to the husband and his family, but you are save from that as it has been more than one decade that you got married.
Secondly, still if she says something about you or your mother then you may be in trouble for the time being as she has committed suicide and police is bound to look into this.
Thirdly, so I advice you to ask for not making any such statement by any how.
Fourthly, rest is says no to it then you can take the help of your house condition to come out of it as well as the prior life with the wife including your mother.
Fifthly, it would also be great if there was no prior complain any time in the past for you or mother about bad behaviour with her.
Good Luck...!
You should give an intimation to police stating that your wife has suicidal tendencies she has already tried to commit suicide in past and you shall not be held liable if your wife commits suicide in future.
Also try to get the written opinions and medical records of your wife from the psychiatrist and doctor as it can be used in court later to prove that your wife is suffering from mental disorders.
You refusing to take your wife back at this stage may create more problems so what i would advise you is to have a joint meeting between both the families at this stage whereby you can obtain in writing that you were no where responsible for this act of your wife. Thereafter you can put a suggestion that your wife undergoes counselling. I think if you handle this entire situation emotionally rather than legally, you can save your marriage as from what you have mentioned, you have had a relatively smooth sailing married life.
If she is under any mental pressure or acting on a command from subconscious, she may be taken to a psychiatrist for treatment.
Even a psychologist can give her advise about this.
If you feel that you cannot tolerate this anymore then you may think of filing a divorce cae on the grounds of mental cruelty .
You may think twice before taking any kind action against her.
