You being the son boldly accept that your mother, sister and your aunty have been meddling with your family life and want to separate you from your wife, this being so, you have moved out of the house and have been staying independently since march. that is really bold.

if you wish that your mother, sister and aunty do not meddle with your life's you must lodge police complaint's against them, if the cops fail to take the complaint, file the complaint directly with the magistrate U/s 200 of Criminal Procedure Code.

Also in addition you can file a civil suit against these persons and take an injunction order against them from meddling with your life in future. this can be filed by your wife or you can do it also.

If your brother was made to go through the same torture, include him as one of the complainants and file it jointly, it will be stronger as well.

Hi, you can lodge a police complaint against your aunt and your sister for harassment and if the police has failed to register the complaint then you have to lodge private complaint under section 200 Criminal Procedure Code.

If the tortures are beyond tolerance and they (your mother and aunt group) are uncontrollable or if they dont realise their humiliations against you both, you can file a criminal complaint against them for the criminal intimidation offences.

You have options to even file a defamation case against them as a private complaint with the magistrate court.

You should not lose your patience and indulge in criminal activities against them as a retaliation, this may cause you further problems in your work side too, hence be careful about this and dont get provoked.

Hello,

1) You have been wise and reasonable in standing by your wife through the ill treatment meted out to her by your own family members. Most often the woman fails to get the support of her husband as he will sway and bend towards his mother and be influenced by other members of the family.You are doing a commendable job.

2) As far as legal options available to you against your relatives deliberately damaging the character of you and that of your wife you can file a complaint with the cyber cell of the police department . For other atrocities that are being done by your relatives you can file a complaint with the police and if the police fails to investigate and the torments still continues you can file a private complaint in the Magistrate's Court of your area and the police will be ordered by the Magistrate to investigate and report.

3) You can engage a local lawyer to help you with filing of a private complaint if you need help.The best way to get rid of relatives that become a pest in your life is to disregard what they do and ignore them completely.

Your wife has been called a prostitute by them, so she can file a criminal case for defamation against them. This apart, if she chooses to reside in her matrimonial home then she can claim protection order through injunction from the court to put an end to further acts of domestic violence directed towards her. Injunction is the most efficacious remedy in these circumstances.
