although there is a chance for it being fictitious, such conditions some time appear in real life . recently saw a case settled with wife giving 20 lacs to get divorce from husband instead of husband giving anything, and see the interesting thing 5-6 yrs back same husband offered 5 lacs for MCD but wife wanted a crore. she filed 498a , dowry , criminal breach of trust everything , husband also filed counter cases and defended himself . now husband is in a livin relationship and was not ready for divorce till wife offered her 20 lacs to set her free.
never take matri cases as a win or loose war, actually both are loosers . if both start playing war tactics on each other
ultimately time of both parties is wasted. so dont be too greedy and settle cases amicably iunstead of fighting like dogs in courtroom.
if females think they have 498a and so on males also have livin as a weapon against them, provided they defend fake criminal cases well , as no law defines livin as a punishable crime for a married men. so ultimately life slows down, if two are sure they cannot go along watever it may be , part amicably, instead of showing greed and thinking of avenging the wrongdoings of other spouse.
