How much effective 498a arrest when no consummation

read the section 498a Husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty. Whoever, being the husband or the relative of the husband of a woman, subjects such woman to cruelty shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years and shall also be liable to fine.

for filing under this section no consummation is required any cruelty she can file and why no consummation till date

better to discuss with her and settle the issue and if not then try to discuss for mutual consent divorce which is safer in many ways and time saving

No arrest in 498a don't worry.Show IO the Arnesh kumar Vs bihar judgement.

non consummation of marriage due to impotency of the bride is a valid ground for getting the marriage annuled.to my knowledge its a difficult ground to prove in court.if you can get the marriage annuled then you can quash 498a based on the annulment of marriage.

you wait for the chargesheet to be filed.then based on the charges in the cs you can prove that prima facie its a false case on you.go for quash under 482 crpc in high court or file a discharge petition

no consummation till date because she did not came to my home to live a married life since the day we married, showing some vague unimportant reasons and intentional quarrels. she did not come for an important custom of our community of going to family worshipped deities temples then welcoming rituals of bride then  arranged first n...t. Do you say this is a solemnised marriage without the rituals and customs completed? There might be some reasons for this behaviour i suspect strongly but because of no evidence i am not mentioning here or can not say in court also.

Ask for annulment of marriage, in fact the marriage is incomplete consequently there is no chance of cruelity towards the woman by husband or a relative (as enshrined u/s 498A IPC). The FIR can be quashed without any hitch/problem.

thank you.

dear mr rajesh

Impotency - If either spouse was physically incapable of entering the marriage at the time of the marriage, usually because of a lack of ability to have s*xual intercourse, and if this inability appears incurable or if the spouse refuses to take any action to cure the inability, there are grounds for an annulment. The inability must continue and must exist at the time of suit.

The inability must continue and must exist at the time of suit.which means you can file for annulment
