False stridhan claims in divorce case

Hi all,

Wife left matrimonial home a year back. I filed for divorce. 498A case filed by wife.

In her statement in divorce case she has claimed for Rs 30 lakh glod ornaments of hers with me. Also Rs 10 lakh clothing and sandals. Will she have to prove: 

1. she has gold ornaments of Rs 30 lakhs

2. those were given to us. her claim is she gave that to us after 6 months of marriage as I demanded for them.

doesn't the onus of proof with wife?

bruden lies on her to prove it.

wife has to prove that those articles were given to you - let her keep proving her false alligations - truth comes out during trial - 1 mistake gives rise to 10s of further mistakes.

she has to produce the bills of her belongings.

if she has accepted that the articles were given as dowry, then herself & her parents can be booked under DP3.

Dear SAMPAT

the burdan of proof lies on her, it is her duty to prove it and if she not, you win the case. I also agree with Mr. Amit

Thanks all for immediate response.

Twist in the tail, wife files RCR (section 9) after 8 months of 498A. 498A was filed after 1.5 years of separation. I had filed for divorce on grounds of cruelty (desertion without reasonable cause and not returning after sending NOTICE through advocate).

Too many differences in 498A chargesheet and WS filed in divorce case.

Got bail in 498A on the same day, arrest was for 30 mins.

I expect actions taken by her (delay in filing FALSE 498A, filing RCR after 498A) will stand as enough proofs of a lier wife. Please suggest, if I need to do anything from my end, apart from fighting the cases for JUSTICE BEING DONE.

fairly common tactics in small towns.

 

Persist with your divorce case in all earnest.

What are the ways to fight for false claim for stridhan. In my case; She took everthing along with her; (Unfortunately don't have proof that she took) ... What If she / her in laws produce genuine bills.

Along with many draconian laws in India favouring to women; there has to be law for men atleast which gives week stand to fight. I can't believe that I have rely on her mercy !

Suggest how to fight for it. I am ready to fight to the extended to my death;

Stridhan is her right and also it's her duty to safeguard it. you can surely say 'she has taken it'.

she will have to prove that you have it wth you -- prrof like, written statement signed by you/your family. Also bills don't prove who is the current possessor.

Shonee Kapoor (Legal Evangelist - TRIPAKSHA)     05 April 2012

She would also need to prove that the said items were entrusted to you.

agar ladkiwalo se shaadi ke samye koi bhi dahej nahi liya gaya ho ...

ladkewalo ne hi sab jewar ladki ko deye ho...

aur ladki sirf 3 month sasural me rahi ho..

uske baad wo sasural chod kar dusri  city me rahe aur fir waha uske mummy papa aa kar  apne damad ko mentely paresan kare aur fir unko bina bataye ghar ka sara saman utha kar le jaye ..jab ladka ghar me nahi ho tab..aur fir 2 saal tak sasural na aaye ..

to kya ladkewalo ne jo bhi jewar ladki ko shaadi ke samye diya tha wo stridhan ke naam par wo rakh sakti hai... iske liye LAW me koi dhara nahi hoti  hai kya.. aise to wo ladki pata nahi kitni shaadiya kar ke logo ko lutegi..

kya dahej nahi lena gunah hai...????

PLZ.... MERE BHAI KO INSAF DELANE ME HELP KARE...
