1. You have no share in the property even if the same belongs to your husband.
2. However if you are a housewife then you can claim maintenance for you and the child, if any at par of your husband status and earnings,

3. For this you have file case under PWDV Act wherein you can claim for right of residence in the matrimonial property of the same is owned or rented by your husband. if not then claim for rent of alternative accommodation.

As per you post it was only case of domestic violence and another case of making you to have faith in a Baba which you did not like and your religious sentiments got hurt.


You post does not disclose dowry demand still you filed 498a. Any reasons for the same?

you should also file cases of domestic violence, maintenance etc.

along with 498 a, 323, 504 and 114 is also mentioned. i want to know that upto what extent i can claim maintenence under 125? and filing 125 indirectly means divorce or not? what further actions i should take.
V R SHROFF (Expert) 13 June 2014
You file Application u/s 12-+++23 Domestic Violence Act, ask mtn, residence, protection.

However, I do not encourage anyone filing 498A, as it ONLY HARM both the parties to irreparable / harm your family. no any advantage. Teaching the Lesson is very costly affair. It ends your matrimonial Life. You closed the door permanently even for your beloved husband. it ends with 498A.
Dr J C Vashista (Expert) 14 June 2014
I agree with Mr. V R Shroff, just file application u/s 12 POWFDV Act, 2005 claiming maintenance, residence and protection only and nothing beyond that, otherwise your family life will be ruiened.
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 15 June 2014
Besides 498a, you can file case against all the members of the household who have tortured you under the provisions of protection of women from domestic violence act.
