Do not count unless all goes mutually settled.She has right to fire and you have right to defend.

After decree of divorce no such case u/s 498A would lie.

Dear Querist
There is a time limit for filing the case as per section 468 of Crpc, according to this section she can file a criminal case u/s 498A of IPC within 3 years of the date of Occurance, divorce is grant or not, there is no effect.

im not agree wd expert
498a has wide scope as well as restrictions
after getting divorce 498a cant be established.weather it was done before
