 Sameer, The burden of proof is upon u that u have not committed any act of domestic violence and cruelty. If successfully proved the same, u can file divorce against her and suit for malicious prosecution under law. Bhupender Sharma(Adv.    )

i agree with Mr. sharma, but wife is also supposed to present sufficient evidence on record framing charges and proving the charges too.

Sir,

 you can file objection against the complaint under D.V Act and rebutt pera wise allegation. It is not a rule of law that court will solely rely on the statement of wife. It depends on evidence. You have right to cross examine the wife, and also have right to put foth the evidence in your defence. I suggest that If you have sound proofs you should approach to High Court under Sec 482 to quash the procedings.
