@jay phatak................i differ with adv chandrashekhar...when you have filed for divorce, it means you have solid grounds to ask for it. and a lot of thought and consideration has gone into filing it. now if you accept her RCR petition, it is automatically implied that you have pardoned her cruel acts. you cant have two views while accepting the RCR, one only accepts the other spouse when he decides to forgive and forget. you cant keep your legs in two boats. again after you file for divorce after her RCR, your case will become very weak, and also remember it is equally dangerous to accept a woman back in the house, as such a woman has been tutored by cunning lawyers to enter the husbands house and then make false grounds to file cases like 498 and DV. and if you think that by accepting her RCR, you will be relieved of maintainence. then you are totally wrong. you will anyway have to pay maintainence....so think about it...............
