if false 498 A case has been filed by the lady and it is proved to be false it amounts to mental cruelty and a ground for divorce .

if wife has deliberately given false evidence on oath she is criminally liable . you can also sue for defamation

Agree with Ajai. It can be good ground for divorce and defamation is also attracted.

In addition to Sethi Sir, Suit for malicious prosecution may lie against them, and proceeding under 340 Cr.P.C may also be initiated.

Lot of actions including case for defamation and malicious prosecution can be filed against her.

Depends on the facts of your case and the judgement.
