        On October 27, 2024, at 3 PM, my wife left our house, taking all the jewelry and cash. The reason for her behavior was a delay in booking her bus tickets to her hometown through the MSRTC website. During the incident, she became violent, scratched me with her nails, causing my hand to bleed, and went to my father’s house. There, she kicked his door, called him a “bhikari” (beggar), created a scene in front of neighbors, and shouted that she was going to end her life.

        After locking our house, I went to my father’s house and informed him about my bleeding hand. Together, we went to a government hospital since private clinics were closed on Sunday. The hospital advised us to file a non-cognizable (NC) complaint, which we did, before receiving medical treatment. The entire process took about an hour and a half.

        Meanwhile, my wife broke the house’s lock, took all the jewelry, and left, locking the safety door with a suitcase lock. She was unresponsive to our calls, and even her mother complained that she wasn’t answering her phone. When we informed the police, they attempted to contact her but received no response. They also contacted her mother and advised her to inform them if she heard from my wife. Later that evening, around 9 PM, her mother informed the police that my wife was on a bus to her hometown.

        When we returned home, we discovered that the jewelry was missing. The following day, we asked her mother about the jewelry, but she dismissively said, “Do what you can.” Ten days later, her father admitted over a phone call that my wife had taken the jewelry and suggested a family meeting to resolve the issue.

        On December 1, during the meeting, my wife accused me and my father of harassment and claimed we threw her out of the house. However, she also expressed her love for me and stated that she wanted to return. After this, we avoided contact with her. Despite this, her uncle and maternal uncle frequently called, insisting that she had changed and asking us to reconcile. One day, both of them came to our house uninvited to persuade us to accept her back. Eventually, we decided to talk to her again, but she maintained the same accusations of harassment and insisted we had thrown her out.

        Frustrated with the situation, we sent her a legal notice for mutual divorce. In response, she wrote:
        “I am shocked after reading your notice. Neither your client nor his family has made any attempt to restore our marital relationship or lead a happy, normal married life. My husband and his family have made false and frivolous allegations against me. I do not agree with the proposal for divorce. I want to stay with my husband despite the ill-treatment I’ve faced.”

        Despite claiming ill-treatment, she insists on staying with me. During a phone call, she even said that if she dies, she wants to die in my house. I am utterly confused about her intentions and behavior, and I don’t understand what she truly wants.

          This is likely to end very badly for you and your family. Lawyer up and face this smartly and boldly.

                    Don’t cheap out here. Most of the time men are screwed because they hire a lawyer suggested by their Mama-Chacha because a good lawyer charges 2-3 Lakhs while a chhaate wala lawyer will do it in 20-50k. Many will also tell you that the law is same for both 50K lawyer and 3 Lac lawyer will be same and they will not create a law out of thin air. They will be right, but a good and reputed lawyer will get you advance bail and make sure you won’t have to stay in jail during the case duration and have to commute to the court where case is filed (Wife’s hometown 99.99% of the times) less frequently like Atul Subhas had to.

                        Am I the only one who’d rather stay in a broken relationship than pay 3 lakh to a lawyer.

                            No but it takes two person to want to stay in the relationship and if one wants to file false cases, if you don’t hire a 3 lakh lawyer than be prepared to go to jail. That’s it.

                            even if you have lawyer, good luck with your case. its Indian law system and you will most probably never get justice if your judge or the system is corrupted.

                              Someone known to you? These lawyers from both sides make their own fon agreements to drag the case on. My cousins lawyer was a friends brother and told my cousin that his wifes lawyer called and suggested dragging the case to fleece both clients.

                              Be smart about it. Keep all the evidence. Including if you dont have evidence, taking here back in and then start collecting evidence.

                                            Insist on the divorce and ask the court to have her do a psychiatric evaluation.

                                              The exact thing is going on with my brother it happened 3 years ago she left and then when we sent a legal notice she filed domestic case against my family and even now after so many years she is saying they have beaten me but i will not divorce i want to go back and take my advice brother please don’t bring her back they only do this to trouble you and if you bring her back she will again file a fake case against you. She is doing this for an upper hand in the final negotiations. My family is also in the same boat. These lawyers keep bringing next dates and make money out of us. Be mentally prepared that this may go on for years. My bhabhi also told everyone that we beat her and threw her out even though she left herself and took all the gold and cssh along with her. Don’t bring this girl back she is just acting up if you bring her back she will ensure that you are behind the bars and she can make more money out of you

                                                          Did you or your family face any arrest? If so then how did you secure bail?

                                                        If you do choose to reconcile, your entire family will be in jail within a year. And i can guarantee that.

                                                          what if you can talk to her about all this personally (only you both) and discuss things out, and maybe later you reach out to a psychologist or marriage counsellor, things get better over time?

                                                          I could be completely wrong but i am just exploring a positive side. you can call it wishful thinking.

                                                            She is short tempered also.

                                                                Her actions amount to cruelty. As a matrimonial remedy you can file a contested divorce on the grounds of cruelty. Make sure your petition is strong enough to prevent her from filing false DV or Dowry cases. Even then she may file, which you need to counter strongly. Hiring a competent advocate makes a big difference. The procedure involved in contested divorce is as mentioned here [https://divorcebylaw.com/best-contested-divorce-lawyers-in-bangalore/](https://divorcebylaw.com/best-contested-divorce-lawyers-in-bangalore/)

                                                                During mediation if she insists to get back to you, you also insist upon getting a medical report on her mental health.
