Dear Mr. Gupta: You have not properly cared for your wife and rather committed 'physical' , 'emotional' and 'psychological'. Your facts do not mention about 'economic' violence which may also be there, if you have not provided sufficient support to her.

You may possibly avoid criminal prosecution and a jail term if you decide to repent and seek her forgiveness. As a goodwill gesture, you should first return her 'istridhan' and start giving her sufficient amount of money for maintenance.
