Mere filing FIR albeit false alone does not constitute 'cruelty' as enshrined in Marriage law.

complaint u/s 498A even if false, cannot be called an act of cruelty.

yes, institution of criminal complaint against husband and other family members absolutely amounts to cruelty, and is a good ground for divorce, so many citations are there, if any information with this regard mail me :

I cannot agree with Srinath and Tabassum.
mere filing of criminal case is not a cruelty. If such case is proved false means the accused persons are exonerated from the charges levelled in the FIR then certainly this filing of the case by wife against her husband and all his family members is certainly a cruelty.
There is no contrary law available as on date. If any expert has available, rather offering to contact him on his cell, he should submit here in this forum and this thread.
