Implication of 498a & dv, reading with section 5 (i) of hma

some1 kindly post appropriate references / SC / HC citations, decisions.

Right, she can file 498-a and DV.

But then you can get it quashed, as the marriage was VOID AB-INITIO, that is no marriage in the eyes of law.

Mr Shonee Kapoor vesriosn is correct. But she can harrash by way of lodging report Under Sec 498-A . But the  question of validity of marriage will be decised in later stage of trail meanwhile you wil be the sufferor. Better way to settle the matter as possibly .

general rule of divorce = divorce decree

burdon of prooving legal sanctity to customary divorce lies on the party alleging the custom (i.e. - the wife).

jurisdiction = competent court & not CAW cell / police station

so doesn't wife has first to prove the validity of customary divorce and then she is entitled to file 498a ??

may be DV can be filed by her. (but since last 50 days she is not staying with me)

Amit my brother,

We would cross all bridges when we come to it. Be Patient.
