DGP ordered and enquiry. Police asked my sister's husband to bring my sister to police station. My sister was away from state and was with my brother in Chennai. Her husband came to meet her and wanted her to take my sister forcibly.She denied . I was in Bangalore and requested both of them to come to Bangalore. My parents were with me in Bangalore.Both came and we along with my sister husband decided to get into agreement .Agreement ,overall, states 1.that my sister does not feel secured and hence she would not like to go her husband's house. 2.My sister's husband will keep coming upto two years to meet my sister in her parent's place so that trust can build up.3. if she goes with her husband after two years , her husband's brother and wife will not beat my sister.Even her husband will not beat her.4.

It is noted that her husband has taken signature from sister in plain paper during her stay with him ,forcibly.We agreed to the above content and my parents,sister and her hsuband went to place of residence of father and executed the agreement in front of executive magistrate.The same night, her husband stayed with my sister in my house in the native state and forced her /beat her and took signature plain paper and went wothout informing anyone at 4 am.We were shattered. We approached the executive magitrate and informed him about this and non compliance of agreement. He gave a receipt of the complaint.We again tried to leave peacfully but after 3 months of the agreement we got a notice from family court. This notice was against the compalint filed by my sister's husband for legal sepration or divorce on following ground:1. he does not have any child out of this marraige 2. he has claimed that my sister is mentally weak and cruel 3. he has claimed that they are not staying together for 10 yrs4. He has also submitted the police report against the complaint made by my sister to DIG -in which police have jotted down that if girl's parent gives some money then he can take his wife.This is said by my sister's husband to police.My father 85 yrs ,mother is around 80 yrs.sister is 45 yrs old.During the marriage negotiation, his brother and his late father have told us that he has 20 acres of land and he is graduate. Now , we come to know that he has 50 decimal of land he matriculate.He is around 55 yrs now . We always tried to make this marrige successful ,even if sister was beaten and thrown out of house by his bhabhi. We are not in position to think on how should we proceed. My sister now wants her husband to be punished by law.We have kept quite becuase of social stigma, family peace but now we are have lost our all hopes. We do not have much evidence. During his staty in Bangalore, we have audio recording in which I have aske him that why you and your bhabhi,brothers have beaten my sister .He replies saying that it was mistake from our side. We do not want any financial support or gain in any form from her husband. we only want him to be punished now. Can we initiate a 498a against now when he has files a legal sepration or divorce in the family court?Please advice what should we do.
