My marriage sucks. My wife is very dramatic and has created several scenes in the past. After trying my best for 5 years, I finally left her and started living alone on rent. When I talked to her and her parents about divorce then they started to threaten me that they would file a FALSE 498a case against me and my family and police will arrest me. They are asking for too much money (2 crore) for divorce and not filing this false case. I don’t have that much money so I have made up my mind to fight the case if they file a false 498a case. I and my family members never tortured her (mentally or physically) and never demanded for dowry so I know if she does file a false case then I will be able to prove in the court that 498a case is false but I know court will still not punish her even If I prove it is false which is unfair. Can I file a mental harassment case (for intentionally harassing my family while she knew we didn’t do anything) and defamation case (of 2 crore) against her for loosing our reputation in our society due to her false case?
Thanks.
