See there is no as such special law made for man to file complaint for domestic violence the husband can complaint before police if there is abuse, cruelty, intimidation before police station and FIR under Indian penal.code according to the act can be registered.
Further more the husband can file for divorce on ground of cruelty against the wife.
No specific remedy for husbands to report the atrocities that is meted out to husbands at the hand of their wives.
You have the option of approaching the Police and lodging a complaint with them, requesting them to lodge a FIR against your wife. If no action is taken by the Police on your complaint, write to the higher ups in the Police Department. If nothing works in your favour, file a private complaint before the Magistrate with the aide of a lawyer.
Dear Client,
For any physical act, threats - criminal intimidation by wife and in laws, criminal can be fled under Indian Penal Code in various sections. Other than that non earning husband can claim alimony from wife under Hindu marriage act.
Under Code of civil procedure, husband and his parents can get injunction orders against wife and in laws, restrain them to create nuisance,non interfere in peace full possession of property etc. Prohibition order u/s 107, 116 Crpc.
In such a scenario it is suggested that you must start preparing for series of false cases against you, you should start collecting documents and keep call recording and WhatsApp message etc and proving her work experience salary statements etc and also if needed give a compliant to your regional police station mentioning that your wife is threatening you to file false cases. Do this only when you are sure she is going ahead with any false complaints.
Your mother and sister can also file domestic voilence Complaint against your wife. You can also file harrassment Complaint against your wife and her family members
Dear Sir,
The husband can protest from all corners and see that wife cannot file such false cases. Though law with good intention created married women favoring enactments but most of them misusing the same for their persons ends and trying to take revenge. Whenever the case is filed it is better to get stay order from High Court or otherwise see that she is not able to get fruits of the orders passed in her favor.
When there arises a situation like the one you have referred here to clarify the details, the wife to avenge her husband and his close relatives may use the weapons called 498a, section 3 and 4 of DP act, section 125 cr.p.c. and DV act provisions.
You may have to first defend your interests in all the cases.
After that you can plan to initiate divorce process against her.
