The problem at this stage is strictly in the domain of "family law"; the parties must make all possible efforts to settle their dispute amicably. the stage for starting legal battle has notcome so far.

In the circumstances described by your friend, it is best for him to file for divorce immediately. The wife's threats appear to have no relevance. However, in order to protect himself, he should file general diaries with the local police as and when such threats are given.
