SEE THE JURISDICTION UNDER 125 Cr.P.C., DIVORCE, ARE OF SAME CHARACTER. YOU CANNOT QUESTION THE JURISDICTION BASED ON THE CAUSE OF ACTION. NOW SHE IS RESIDING IN A VILLAGE. THE COURT IN THAT VILLAGE HAS ALSO GOT VALID JURISDICTION ON THIS POINT.

The court in her village has got the jurisdiction as the the wife can file the case for maintenance from her residence for which place of occurrence of alleged torture is not needed.

Yes. Am also agree with experts. I mean the village court having jurisdiction to deal this case.. If you have merits mean file a transfer petition before the high court.. But result will be favour to the wife only.. Very less chance to get transfer.

Has that not been in the jurisdiction of the court the case would not have been admitted by the court itself. So, unless there is any other specific and solid ground, dismissal may not be possible.
