dowry harrasment

(Querist) 05 September 2009 This query is : Resolved 
I am working in defence. My brother-in-law's wife has filed false dowry harassment charge on my in-laws, my wife and self. she has filed this as counter blast to divorce petition which my brother-in-law has filed. i would like to know is can defence personnel seek exemption from attending courts everytime the case comes for hearing. It is quite difficult for me to attend the court regularly as leave cannot be granted to me. secondly what would happen if i get posted out to different place? presently i am posted at the place where the case is filed.

You can apply to court for permanant exemption.But it will depend on grounds for exemption.It is descretionary power of court.

I think u should hotly argue at the time of charge and as per current ruling of various Courts, you and your wife both have full hope of discharge and if this happens (becs it is all most primary stage after filing charge-sheet), you shall permanently be out of case. I think rather adopting other recourses, you adopt this process and permanently settle the scores.

HARRASSMENT IS A COGNIZABLE TERM,IF ONE PARTY IS WEAK AND OTHER IS POWERFUL.AS ON TODAY,MARRIAGE IS A NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN ELIGIBLE AGE GROUPS OF TWO DIFFERENT SEX INDIVIDUALS.EXCEPT FOR EMOTIONAL UNPREDICTABILITY ,EVERY THING IS PRE-ASSESSED.EMOTIONAL DISPARITY OF IRREVERSIBLE NATURE PROVIDES AVENUE OF DIVORCE FOR HEALTHY INDIVIDUAL LIFE STAKES.THE QUESTION OF HARRASSSMENT DOESNOT ARISE. DIVORCE IS CONSIDERED A TABBOO BY BOY AND GIRL.THEY THEREFORE USE THE TERM HARRASSMENT,A TERM USED FOR BLACKMAILING,IN MARITAL LIFE,TO MALIGN EACH OTHER. LEGAL PUNDITS SHOULD REVIEW AND REVISE ITS APPLICABILITY,SO AS TO NULLIFY ITS USE AS BLACKMAILING INSTRUMENT.riven
