My wife’s brother married in June 2016. Sadly, she took her own life four months later, leaving a note mentioning dowry demands. The note named her in-laws, including his parents and sisters. The police immediately filed a case against them, including me, as I was present at the wedding. I’m currently in Saudi Arabia and unable to return. My wife’s family is also facing charges. Despite securing bail, my wife’s brother remains in jail, along with his parents and one sister. The police are now pressuring my wife to surrender me for bail. I am seeking advice on how to proceed in this situation.

My wife and I had a small disagreement two years into our marriage. Her parents took her away, saying they wouldn’t let her stay with me. She said she knew how to leave without me. I didn’t contact them. She called after three months, but I didn’t answer. They then filed a false police complaint claiming I had beaten her. We went to the station, but they tried to scare us into filing an FIR. We didn’t give in. Three months later, they filed another complaint claiming my wife was harassed for her salary.
