Dear Sir,

The police has informed your the provision of law that if the wife dies within 7 years of marriage, it may be assumed that he was demanded dowry, tortured and this caused the death. You have not mentioned as to why you need divorce from her. To prevent any untoward action by her and police, you are suggested to submit one informatory application to police (by post) indicating the harassment and threat given by her and request to give you time to put your version before taking any adverse action against you. 

You are now total safe after facts your wife attempted suicide is known  to police and on record .

No such provisions is there in law that can put you behind the bar. 

You can file divorce case .

If you can afford, install CCTV cameras, so that the recordings will rescue from false cases which will be  filed by her and protect you and your aged parents from hardships.

You can file for divorce on above ground.

If  it is contested divorce it will taken around five to ten years.

Best option, if possible, go for Mutual consent divorce, it will be completed within one year to eighteen months.

if you want to terminate the matrimonial knot, then, try to settle the matter amicably with your wife involving elders/relatives/friends etc and go for Mutual Consent Divorce which will be decided in 6-18 months, and you both will be free to live life with your wish,

don't forget to draft an MOU before approaching Mutual Divorce, which is the most essential and important part of a Divorce case,

RCR will work as a safeguard to 498a, maintenance, DV etc 

Dear Sir,

People who have a mental illness, such as Borderline Personality Disorder, typically have a higher risk for suicide. Depression, a history of substance abuse, and other disorders carry risks as well. If your partner truly wishes to die and has a plan and intention to follow through, get immediate help.

Attempt to suicide is also an offense if she commits such offense in future then simple hand over her to the police and ask them to book a case. Even now on her threats of black  mailings and your recordings police can book a case. Just threaten her through police.

Criminal Intimidation:

When one threatens another with an injury to reputation, with the intent to cause alarm to that person and forces him to do what he is legally not bound to do, this is called criminal intimidation.

It is a threat to harm reputation, property or the person himself and cause of action of these threats are often unlawful.

• When someone threatens to commit suicide, in such cases, a case of Criminal Intimidation can be filed.

What To Do With Such Threats

• If your partner leaves a suicide note, you could be booked by the police under section 306IPC for abettment to commit suicide.

On the other hand, if he does not leave any note but his family and friends in their statement give your name as the cause of your partner’s suicide then also you will be in trouble.

Inform local SHO of the police station through an application stating that this person is having suicidal tendencies and you should not be held responsible in case such a thing happens. Inform the same to his parents.

Punishment to criminal intimidation:

Imprisonment which may extend to seven years or with fine or with both.

Defamation

When BF creates a scene by shouting loud in the locality or when he invites others and cries hissorrow in front of others at the same time threatens to commit suicide, one can file for defamation cases. Defamation is when harm is done to the reputation.

Going for civil or criminal defamation is one’s personal choice. There are certain requirements to be fulfilled to establish defamation.

• First, presence of defamatory content when a BF accuses her and threatens to commit suicide that too in front of others, the reputation of the GF will decrease surely in front of others.
• Second, defamatory content must refer to the person defamed.

• Thirdly, publication, that is to say, a third party must come to know of defamation.

Threat to Commit Suicide and Extortion of Money

There are situations where somwone threatens to commit suicide on non-signing of some contract or non-delivery of an object. What to do in such cases of threats? How to deal with such contracts signed under coercion?

Coercion is doing an unlawful thing as mentioned in IPC and getting a contract signed. Therefore, when someone threatens to commit suicide unless the other signs a contract. A threat to commit suicide is indistinguishable from one to attempt to do so and that such an attempt is forbidden by Section 309 I. P. C, which penalizes it.

The threat to commit suicide, although, not a specific offense as per the provisions of IPC but still, the spirit of code does not support it either. Therefore, by doing an unlawful act one cannot force the other to enter into a contract.

If repeated threats of suicide are given by the wife and if the preparations for suicide are made, though having no intention to commit, but with an intention to create a pressure or with a view to gain the expected result from the husband, then it amounts to cruelty. Cruelty is a ground for divorce. Contact a local lawyer to file a divorce case against your wife. 

File a peitition to divorce. 

Duration depends on functioning of courts, other side advocate's delaying tactics. But if you engage an advocate who stubbornly oppose such tactics it will be completed within 2 years.

Dear Sir,

Attempt to suicide is also an offense if she commits such offense in future then simple hand over her to the police and ask them to book a case. Even now on her threats of black  mailings and your recordings police can book a case. Just threaten her through police.

I can completely understand the stress and trauma that you are undergoing. It appears that she is mentally upset over breaking up with you and feels emotionally insecure and vulnerable. At first, you should consider taking her for psychiatric treatment. At the same time, in order to protect yourself and your family I think you should consider filing a complaint with the local police authorities. You should also consider informing the State and the National Commission for Women that you are going through this. This preemptive action may protect you from suffering any harm in the future in case she takes any step.

1. If a woman dies an unnatural death within 7 years of her marriage then FIR is registered against husband under Section 304B for dowry death.

2. It is a long drawn and tedious road for husband to prove that no act of harassment pertaining to dowry was committed on her.

3. To be on a safer side, immediately send a letter to the jurisdictional police station to state that your wife has suicidal tendencies, due to which you apprehend implication.

4. Nothing stops you from filing petition for dissolution of marriage.
