You may file a petition for Divorce anytime after 1 year of completion of your marriage citing any of the the various grounds available under the Hindu Marriage Act 1955 (in case you are Hindus). As you have mentioned that your wife misbehaves with you, this would fall under the ambit of Cruelty as per Section 13(1)(ia) of the HMA 1955. Under Section 13(1)(ia) the term cruelty includes mental as well as physical cruelty. Mental cruelty has been elaborated upon by the Supreme Court of India to include: “Mental cruelty may consist of verbal abuses and insults by using filthy and abusive language leading to constant disturbance of mental peace of the other party. The Court dealing with the petition for divorce on the ground of cruelty has to bear in mind that the problems before it are those of human beings and the psychological changes in a spouse's conduct have to be borne in mind before disposing of the petition for divorce. However, insignificant or trifling, such conduct may cause pain in the mind of another. But before the conduct can be called cruelty, it must touch a certain pitch of severity. It is for the Court to weigh the gravity. It has to be seen whether the conduct was such that no reasonable person would tolerate it. It has to be considered whether the complainant should be called upon to endure as a part of normal human life. Every matrimonial conduct, which may cause annoyance to the other, may not amount to cruelty. Mere trivial irritations, quarrels between spouses, which happen in day-to-day married life, may also not amount to cruelty. Cruelty in matrimonial life may be of unfounded variety, which can be subtle or brutal. It may be words, gestures or by mere silence, violent or non-violent.” Therefore the behavior of your wife can easily come within mental cruelty. Now your need to file a petition for divorce under this Section seeking a decree for divorce in the competent court and for this you need to consult an Advocate who shall draft your petition.

About data theft and death threats

My friend (Sai) and a girl have been in a relationship for the past 12 months and were physically intimate. During this time, she took out a gold loan in my friend's name and sent that money to her own account, for which my friend has proof. On May 12th, while traveling by motorcycle from his hometown to repay that money, my friend met with an accident. Because he and the girl returned home around 12:00 PM after he received incomplete medical treatment, her brothers became suspicious. Later that same night, her parents took her to the hospital. Upon returning, they questioned her and checked her mobile phone. They discovered the relationship, read all their private chats, and even recovered deleted content with the assistance of a friend working at the local police station. The very next day, on May 13th, her family went to Sai’s village. They falsely identified themselves as police officers to the locals and conducted an inquiry. Afterward, the girl was severely beaten by her parents for a month. Due to the strain of the relationship and the family drama, she even attempted suicide by drinking cough syrup. On June 4th, her brothers came to Sai’s home. They intimidated his family with several lies, claiming they had just been released from a one-year jail term and possessed extensive political, local, and police support. Sai was completely unready and firmly refused to give them his mobile phone. However, seeing that Sai was restricted by his injuries from the May 12th accident, the brothers deceived and cheated his parents. They falsely promised the parents that they would only delete the photos and return the device immediately. Out of fear and under this deception, the parents handed over Sai's phone against his wishes. With the help of their contact at the local police station, they searched through all the data on his phone. They accessed private, semi-nude video call recordings of Sai's ex-girlfriend and forwarded them via WhatsApp to Sai’s mother, father, and brother. They are now demanding a gold chain in exchange for returning the phone on June 6th, while threatening further action. Because Sai has a leg fracture from the accident, he is currently waiting to recover before taking next steps. He has also raised several allegations against the girl's brother, calling him a cheater who harasses women. In the meantime, the girl (Bhargavi) attempted to go to the police station. However, an out side police officer in front of ps informed about her issue then police officer denied to enter into ps and parents who came her back taken her home back , but after a long conflict, she eventually returned to her college PG hostel. Both Sai and Bhargavi are adults currently studying for their B.Tech degrees. As of today, Sai has not contacted her family again regarding his phone.
