As stated in my previous query, My husband has send me summom throu court for Null&Void Marriage.
Can I ask for Money (defamation) for making me mental agony as he has disssolved my marriage which was arranged by my parents with 25lak?
ajay sethi (Expert) 18 November 2011
no case for defamation is made out . merely because summons have been issued for declaration that marriage is null and void does not amount tod efamation . in case your husband has taken 25 lakhs from you at time of marriage you can file complaint under section 498 A for return of your dowry . you can also claim maintenace etc under DV Act

No defamation lies for making any allegations in the plaint though certain High Courts have got divergent opinion on this issue.

You apart from applying for alimony may file petition u/s 340 crpc(perjury) if you prima facie show the false statments made by him on oath.
