Petition of dowry by my wife and inlaws

(Querist) 03 June 2015 This query is : Resolved 
Hi I very upset due to dowry petition by my wife today and I got cal from police station that we have received complaint from your wife that me and my family asked dowry and harras her. Panic has created in my family as she's staying at her parents home from last 2 months and I tried to take her back at home but she refused to do and we stoped talking each other since she used to curse my parents for one and other reason. We I asked stop doing this else I would do the same. She started making issue over this. All of sudden her parents tried to contact me but I don't respond in anger as they behaved too rude when I went to them to take her back. Then they called my father 2-3 times to sort out issue on one side and loosing their patience they did this action of dowry case. Kindly help me for measures since now I don't want to live with her.

Once the wife is out of the matrimonial house she has every right to file different cases against the husband and his entire family.This could be either to take revenge if she has faced hardships during her stay there or could be at at the instigation of her family and well wishers,and also her lawyers too.The law is on her side initially.At the outset engage a good lawyer and defend UR family to come out of the cases.Be prepared for other sections to be framed in future.

U have mentioned U are not ready to live with her.I am not aware about the reasons why she left UR house(was it intentional or forced to leave).A disgruntled wife is always a thorn in the flesh of the inlaws,till the thorn is removed carefully.
Hence to conclude with,better go for mediation and settle the matter amicably without any hasseles from both the sides.

This is legal terrorism from wife, she has initiated like other such instances. Consult local lawyer and face the situation if no amicable settlement possible.

Today I was cald up by women cell in her parents city to listen issues. Where I saw the application she has filed. Which she also mentioned that I asked her parents to give their property to me, and I forced her to do oral sex, harrasment from my parents, seeking 35lakh over AlL expenses. She said to DSP in front of me that she want devorce, I also asked that m ready to take her with AL the terms n conditions. But she refused and seeks immediate settlement of rs 35 lakh. She has pregnancy of 7months. I m afraid to what level she can go and certain she is looking like the of revenge kind of thing. But apart of settlement as I don't have even 1 lakh rs to give her pl suggest me the way. I spent AL my money for my home construction and a present I have loan of rs 30 lakh and all my salary goes in instalments. I made this house just because of her since she want to move out to city. Now pl guide me, instead I m suffering a lot, why law is against me. Why m feeling so helples. I don't see a ray of hope from anywhere. She's not a partner worth living with. Every time she s cursing me wt I have done for her. I have done AL hand holding , pammered her over, take her like kids, always ignore her small mistakes, never complaint to her parents. But in turn what I have got is not justice at AL.

Be cool and keep patient which needs the present situation. Follow strategic legal action/step to sheild unforseen evils that or those are consequential in the present scenario. Side by side carry on dialogue with your in laws through common friends, well wishers and relatives to settle the differences and disputes amicably.

The situation has not turned alarming yet. She has given complaint out of frustration and to establish her supremacy due to her ego and complex. You may not react to her demands instead you can maintain that you are ready to admonish her past deeds and take her back into the matrimonial fold once again and also ready to set up a house in the place of her choice, observe her reaction to your change in the stand, she will not agree to your proposal instead she will enact more emotional dramas to attract sympathy by blabbering more and more false allegations. This situation will help defer the action by police in the meantime you may obtain anticipatory bail and challenge her false cases accordingly. Do not move petition for divorce so soon, let she come one round and then release your strategy and tighten the noose.
