1) since you are a muslim you can get divorced as per your personal law

1) The custody of a minor child in Islam is called Hizanit, which literally means the care of the infant. As per the Shariat law that applies to Muslims, the father is considered to be the natural guardian of his children irrespective of sex, but the mother is entitled to the custody of her son till the age of 7 years and of her daughter till she attains puberty. Thus under the Muslim law a male would attain majority/adulthood when he reaches the age of 7 years and a female would attain majority on attaining puberty.
2)Hon’ble High Court of Delhi in Akhtar Begum vs Jamshed Munir, which held that “the personal law of the parties has to be kept in view in deciding an application for custody by virtue of the mandate of Section 6 of the Act. If a Court does not keep that in view it would be acting illegally and with material irregularity “
what will be the action he has to take to protect his family members from being harassed if she files false dowry & torture case as she never lived with his parents.
1) obtain anticipatory bail in case false 498A is filed
2) contest case on merits . your parents will easily obtain AB as they are staying separate from your wife
1. Mr.A can file for divorce on the ground of cruelty against his spouse. His spouse will be given an opportunity to contest the divorce proceedings in defence.
2. If a case for dowry is filed against the husband and his family members then all of them should seek anticipatory bail without wasting anytime so that they are not arrested.
Hi, you have to file a petition for divorce on the ground of cruelty so that you can take a divorce form her.
It seems it would be a difficult situation to pull on a smooth marital life or relationship with her anymore. She would resort to such events even if you take care of her with utmost affection and care. She has been affected mentally for which a counselling also may not work because she might have crossed that stage too.
Therefore you may decide to quit the married life with her immediately especially considering your child's future and career.
She may resort to criminal complaints against you, but you should be vigilant enough to obtain AB immediately once you know she has approached police for revenge against you.
In the divorce case itself you can seek the custody of your child or you may file separate petition seeking custody of your child.
Being a Muslim by religion, you may opt for pronouncing Talaq against her.
