My wife is very dominating and always tortures for small issues. Also she harassed my mother who is staying with us. Earlier also she made my mother leave the house. 
She always use women's card. Whenever there is a fight , she starts screaming in house and road as well.
I wanted to be safe regarding legal issues as she can make false complaints as she knows the law is from her side.
also this is our second marriage..

you need proper guidance, its good that both you and your mother getting harassed and you do not know how to get it documented, if she is making your mother leave the house, are you getting it documented, she can be trapped big time if you are technically correct. she will be in a false position before court if you do your homework properly.

You can only file a police complaint that she is threatening you and your family to implicate in false cases. Later after she files you can take steps for protection

Dear Sir,

Safeguard yourself, your parents and your relatives.
1) Be very polite in all circumstances. Record all conversations (voice, chat, email, letters, etc.) with those threatening and keep the originals in a safe place. Never produce the originals before anyone, not even before your lawyer. You can buy Olympus W-10 voice recorder, which costs about Rs.4500. You can also buy a telephone recorder.
2) Write a complaint to your nearest police station, detailing about blackmailing, her false allegations and her unscrupulous behavior. And request in your complaint to make her stop the threats and abuses immediately. 
3) File RCR (Restitution of Conjugal Rights). Remember to include conditions that she should agree on before she starts living with you again. 
4) Collect evidence to prove that you have neither demanded dowry or have taken it anytime.
5) Collect evidence to prove that she moved out of the bond of marriage for no apparent reason.
6) If she does not already know, make sure that she does not come to know that any of your family members is an NRI. 
7) Don't remain home during weekends and holidays. Have proofs of where you were. For instance, if you were in a mall, have a credit card transaction in that mall and keep the copy of that transaction.

- As per Supreme court judgement , wife is expected to move in with the relatives of their husbands, follow the rules and customs of their home, and ideally, blend in seamlessly as a new daughter. 

- Further, the court granted divorce to a man on the grounds of “cruelty” after his wife refused to share a home with her in-laws.

- Hence, as per law, she cannot deny living with you, under the condition of separate living from the family.

- Since your wife is useing women card , but your mother is also a woman , and needs to pass her life in peace . 

- Yous mother , being a woman can also file a complaint with the police against your wife due to harassment & torture .

- Your mother can also file a case against your wife before the magisterate under the provision of domestic voilence act.

- Further, your mother has right to dispossess her from her house legally , after filing a complaint under senior citizen Act, and also after filing a mandatory Injunction suit in the  court. 

- However, you should also lodge your complaint against her harassment & torture , after mentioning that due to being a woman , she is creating such scence wihout any sufficient reasons. 

 

Good luck and dont forget to rating Positively.

  1. Law is neither on her side, nor on your side, Law is on the side of justice. Law seeks to redress the grievences of the victim. 
  2. So be rest assured, if any fase criminal case is made out against you, I'm competent enough to defend you successfully in court. 
  3. Now regarding appropriate matrimonial remedies for you.... For that I require an exhaustive consultation session with you first. Only​ after that can any matrimonial remedy be suggested to you and an your instruction, the appropriate matrimonial petition be instituted before ​family court. 
  4. Hence, pay me a visit for exhaustive consultation. I'm based in Mumbai/ Navi Mumbai just as you are, hence it shouldn't be much difficult for you to visit me for exhaustive consultation.

You can consider about continuing this married life amidst such a tremendous pressure and torturous situation.

The purpose of marriage is to live a peaceful and happy life after marriage with the spouse, whereas if she is creating problems every day that too taking advantage of the laws in her favor you may decide about continuing the marriage or not.

If at all she is intending to harass you by making criminal complaint with the police you may first obtain anticipatory bail and then challenge her false case before court in the trial proceedings. 

Don't get frightened by her threats, law is common for all.

If she knows that law is on her side then you should use those laws against her through your mother. 

File Domestic Violence  case through your mother against your wife and a suit of eviction under senior citizen act against both of you on ground of mental and physical harasment.
