Situation -
- Wife left matrimonial home and went to parents place
- Wife filed 498a, DV - applications are full of blunt lies
- Wife then filed for maintenance under CRPC 125
- Meanwhile wife wrote letters and emails to my employer, stating that I am a criminal and I should be fired. She wrote to every possible person where I was working.
- The emails and letters kept coming continuously. I have copies of them.
- Due to this constant pressure at work, I resigned from the job.
- In my reply to CRPC 125, I wrote on affidavit that I lost my job because of my wife which is true.
- I also wrote that now I am jobless. But the fact is that I took up another job. I did not disclose my new job in the court because I know that wife will write letters and emails to my new job too. Her main intention is to harass me so that I give up and pay her a hefty permanent alimony (she had demanded 1cr initially, now she has come down to 50lacs).
Question - I know that I have lied on affidavit. But I lied because I was left with no other option. Now, can wife file perjury in future (if she finds out about my job), and will I be punished under perjury? What precautions should I take so that I avoid perjury on me?
