If you can, put the process of verbal divorce aside. As far as all legal obligations and expectations are concerned it has little if any value. If at the correct time they become an issue then at that time talk to a Mullah for guidance. I have a feeling that your wife’s present mental situation might offer some leeway that an experienced religious leader can share with you.
It’s clear you have a full-blown crisis on your hands.
Enlist the help of others.
Let her father know what’s going on and ask him and her extended family for help.
Last time she was committed to an institution. How did that happen? Did she go voluntarily? Can that process be repeated?
Can her therapist help you? Can the therapist either have her admitted or talk to her about voluntarily seeking help?
Get help for yourself. Maybe a consultant experienced with the impact of mental disease on family.
Be open with your FIL that the present situation is not sustainable for you as a married man and husband.
Ask that the police write formal reports on their interactions with her.
Please friend – don’t try to do this alone.
