This marriage is not at all working.  Unless you husband reforms there is no point continuing this marriage.  In such case filling a contested divorce suit is an option on the grounds of mental cruuel. Apply for monthly maintenance as well in a case filed under PWDV Act .

There is no question of listening to their demands. 

Good luck. 

She can file a DV case and ask for compensation of the entire amount spent on her marriage.

She can also ask for return of her articles as well as her jewels be it gold or diamond etc.

She can approach police with a complaint under section 498A for acts of cruelty and under section 406 for breach of trust and return of her jewels etc. 

Instead you can negotiate the amount and go for mutual consent divorce as suggested by them and get rid of her forever.

You are not entitled to claim marriage expenses incurred by you 

2) mutual consent divorce is best option 

3) you can return jewellery given to wife at time of marriage 

4) alimony depends upon your income, wife income etc 

You can file case of cheating under section 420 of IPC against  your wife and in laws if they had suppressed facts of her illness 

2) wife can file DV case against you even though you have not been in contact for 9 months 

Hello,

1. You can file for divorce on grounds of mental cruelty and that in itself will stand in good stead as a defence against any complaints including DV case that they may initiate against you.
2. Yes, you can use this against them provided you succeed in establishing that the idea of treatment was theirs and they have miserable failed in their undertaking with utterly no regard for the relationship of marriage.
3. thing prevents her from filing a DV case, however, in the given circumstances, her chances of succeeding in the same is limited.

It is good you are aware that woman can claim marriage expenses. But woman can claim her expenses towards medical treatment, if any one file divorce, hefty maintenance during proceeding and handsome alimony after divorce, considering  your admission they spend 30 L, they are will to do, Court can easily grant her not less than 50L as permanent alimony. It is absolute duty to husband to provide medical expenses.  Emotional/Borderline Personality Disorder is not a serious medical condition, it can be due lack of care and affection after marriage, remember it says Borderline.

Dear Querist

• As per information provided by you, when you and the doctors are saying that she is suffering from Emotional/Borderline Personality Disorder then she cannot file any case against you if you proved the same.
• if you are ready and willing to live with her and treat her as per your capacity then you should file a petition under section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act-1955.
• apart from the above, you may also file a civil suit for mandatory and permanent injunction suit with damage/compensation against your in-laws for not treating her well and due to non-treatment, her condition is worsened
  .

There is no law by which the parties of the marriage can claim marriage expenses. neither for the girl nor for the boy. the girl can claim only her Istridhan, maintenance alimony, medical expenses, right to residence, and other monetary relief and not claim marriage expenses.

First you said Bipolar affective disorder now you say you are fooled by mental disorder. You have to adjust with her. Don’t give any reason to her to seek legal recourse against you. Law is in favor of wife. She has many options. She can file criminal case under Section 498a claiming cruelty or demands of dowry. There are many other things she can do if she wants. She can make an application to the Magistrate under Domestic Violence Act and obtain many reliefs. She can also seek maintenance by filing an application under Section 125 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. All this she can do without giving divorce. It is not easy for you to divorce her. If she does not want divorce no court cannot  allow you divorce. If you file divorce you have to pay hefty maintenance amount and alimony running into lacs to her. I am not trying to scare you I am just telling you reality. Anyone can advise you to give divorce, but no one can come to your help.

You do not predict what she can think about it or the stand she may take before court towards your intention to buy a house property.

The proposal to buy a house property is your own decision, she can neither interfere in your decision nor she can take any such stand that she would have contributed financially to the said purchase had she been permitted to work.

Even now she was not restricted from getting employed to contribute her mite towards family investment in immovable property, hence you may not develop/imagine such petty doubts in your mind which do not have any legal or practical answer especially on your imaginations for which answers cannot be predicted at least legally. 

During pendency of divorce proceedings don’t take any home loan for purchasing property 

2) wife can file DV case seek injunction restraining sale of said property and claim right to stay in said property 

Dear Sir,

 You just file divorce case before family court on medical grounds saying that you have been cheated by them.

Dear Sir,

• If your wife earns still if she isn't graduated and have contributed financially, if she able to prove that, then she can claim her shares out of the property.
• It is not important if she is graduated or not. People may earn without degrees.

Thank you
