Unwilling witness

(Querist) 17 January 2015 This query is : Resolved 
My wife filed a divorce suit under HMA. She filed 498A before that and also 125 CRPC. I have contested the divorce suit. Cross-examination is almost over. My lawyer is asking me to be a witness.

My question is if it is mandatory for me to be a witness in suit of theirs. I really do not want to any part of their suit. Let the whole thing be decided of merit of their case without my addition. Can i remain silent because i have right to.

It is not mandatory for you to be as a wittness.

If you do not witness then you are certain to lose the case.
To prove or defend a case, the evidence of the party is of utmost importance.

Dear Sirs,

Thank you all for your kind cooperation. My situation is that the allegation she puts into her suit, she is not been able to verify in the cross examination. She is not been able to prove all most all of her allegations. I want to see her fail on her own.
