Learned Members,
After my wife left me high and dry, I applied for RCR and then had 498(a) against me.
498(a) was hoisted against me after 1 year of me applying for RCR.
Feb2013 498(a) went in my favor and was acquitted.
June 2013 RCR went in my favor. Wife was asked to return to matrimonial home by mid-September 2013, which she has conveniently ignored.
I do realize the effectiveness of a RCR order, however what grounds do I have to deny her any maintenance both under sec 125 and under civil law.
How do I prepare to fight against this extortion? ( I refused to bow down to 40 lakhs+ property settlement during 498(a)).
I have a son out of this marriage. I know I am duty bound to maintain him and give a share of the property as per law and I have made necessary arrangements through a will.
However I do not propose to give my wife anything for free from my/my family’s hard earned money/property.
I use the word FREE because the day she asked for monetary settlement any claims of legitimacy, in terms of the marriage being anything other than a business deal for her and her family, went out the window.
I am willing to fight this tooth and nail.
Though this may sound dumb, I still believe for the sake of my only son, I am ready to accept her back and provide for her. ( known devil and unknown angel et al.,)
Please advise.
