Given your wife’s mental health condition and your in-laws’ concealment of it, you may have grounds to challenge the validity of the marriage under the Indian Divorce Act. Additionally, you can file a counter-case against the dowry allegations, providing evidence of your wife’s mental health issues and your attempts to support her. It is strongly recommended to consult a lawyer for specific legal advice and assistance in your case.
