Need legal advice!!!
4 years ago
I seek legal advice of the following matter,
My wife and I stay away from my family (due to job, I am working and she is housewife).
One day my parent come to my house to visit us. My wife was critizing my parent with her friend on the whatapp.
I opposed for this and we had some argument. (In our case, we frequently quarrels and argument on silly silly things, because she minds very very small things and discuss everything with her mother who give her wrong suggestions).
So after one or two days later again some argument started b/w us and she called her parent to come to my house.
Her parent and relatives came to my house, they querrel a lot with me and my parent (I have audio recording for the same).
My wife went back with her parent (as per her wish), she has taken all the arnaments and jewelleries (given to her by my parent in marriage time). We didn't oppose for given the arnaments and jewelleries. She has also taken back car which was given by her parent at marriage time (they asked for all the things, I have audio recording for the same as proof).
It has been around 6 months since then, we usually talked our the phone, I asked her to come back but she is not willing to come back. She says, she will come back only her parent says to do the same.
I am affraid, she can files some false cases (as she listens and obeys her monther who always give her evil suggestions)
What measures should I take to protect myself and my parent from false cases (just anticipation).
However, I do not want her to know about my protective measures (because it may put bad impact on our relationship, just want to take some hidden measures so that they will be usefull in case any thing goes wrong).

A.1. there is no hidden way to safeguard in matrimonial relationship,
2. send her a legal notice followed by a case of Restitution of conjugal rights in the Court, to show your bonafide intentions to save the matrimonial tie, however, you can withdraw the same any time,
RCR will work as a safeguard to 498a, maintenance, DV, etc
3. you can collect some evidence like whatsapp chat, call, video recordings etc which will help you if relationship take a wrong turn,
Call/mail for a detailed discussion/understanding
