section 498 (a) 306

My spouse committed suicide after 4 months of marriage. It was troubled times where she was adament and attempted suicide twice from my house. I couldnt risk and called a relative of her who claimed responsibility for her at the time of marriage and handed over her to him. The day next she committed suicide at her house and died. Their parents have given a case against me under section 498 (a) 306. What are the consequences of this case and how should I deal with this?

498A is applicable only if there is allegation of cruelty, 306 is alleged when you have abetted the commission of suicide, 498A and 306 are charged if you commit abetment of suicide by treating your wife cruelly. as your wife had a tendency to commit suicide she may be suffering from mental abnormalities so your chance of getting found guily is less. better consult a lawyer practising in criminal side.

Charges levelled against you are serious in nature. Without full information no suggestion can be given in this case. Consult a lawyer personally and take his advice.
