My wife has been living with her parents since our daughter was born five months ago. She works and her family supports her. She recently visited my parents for a few days and then suddenly accused me of not being the father of our child, claiming no rights over the baby. Despite my pleas, she refuses to return. She even filed a police complaint, forcing me to sign an agreement to live near her parents, which is far from my work. My current place is convenient for both our jobs, but she’s still not coming back. I’m at a loss. What can I do?

Based on your situation, you should first seek legal advice from a family lawyer. Indian law recognizes both your rights as a father and your wife’s rights to live with her family. The agreement you signed under duress may not be legally binding, and you can pursue legal action to have your wife return and exercise your parental rights.
