Hi,
My Sister whose matrimonial home is jaipur has recd a divorce petition from her husband.
Its been 3 years of her marriage and they have baby girl child as well.
My sister was asked to leave matrimonial home seven months back and hence came to our place which is madurai in tamil nadu.Actually she was tortured and sent back to get the money from her parents.The amount asked was for rs 20 lakhs and without this she was asked not to enter her matrimonial house.Last ten days before as well she was threatened by the husband to bring the money else will file the divorce petition.We didn't answer for the same and were shocked to see the divorce petition filed by the husband.The same was recd today.
Can we go ahead and file for 498A and DV act after recieving the divorce petition?
The husband was already aware that my sister will be filing for 498A and DV hence to save himself the husband filed the divorce petition to avoid 498A and DV.The petition was sent so that he could show the fault was on my sister's end.
Please let us know if we can still file the case on them and what else else can be done on this?
