Hi,
My wife filed a false dowry harrasment case against me in criminal court under sections IPC 498A, IPC 323.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allegations are very common:
1. I harrased her and her father for more dowry of 10Lakhs
2. She lost her gold ornaments (20 tulas) and cash (10,000) in her matrimonial house
3. I have taken dowry of 20 tulas of gold (given to my wife), bracelet, ring, chain (for my sake) 4 Lakhs cash at the time of marriage
4. I have taken Rs.50,000 worth furniture immediately after the marriage
5. We shifted to Chennai after the marriage as I was working over there for a software company, by then I took 2Lakhs from her father to run house.
6. In spite of taking all these money I have abused her and her parents beaten her so regulary and I'm very cruel.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The real facts:
1. She never returned from her mother's home after the delivery, and this happened three and half years ago.
My wife has given birth to a baby girl.
2. I have tried to get back her my home (matrimonial home) in many ways through my family elders, parents, sigblings even through my caste sangham president. Even today also I'm very much ready to welcome her.
3. From the begining she was interested to live seperately from my joint family. I gave her enough privacy when we were in Chennai.
4. Keeping her privacy in mind later I moved to Karimnagar, Delhi finally Bangalore away from my joint family (parents lives in Hyderabd) in spite of this she was not ready to come and join me.
5. During these days she was working and my daughter and wife both were lived in my in-laws place. One year back she resigned her job by taking the reason of her ill health and my baby.
5. Very recently (1 month back) she came to Bangalore, lived with me for a month then suddenly she left for Hyderabad and with the help of her parents and one advocate (her friend's father), she filed 498A case against me. And also for maintenance in the family court.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I outlined the 3 and half years story in few lines above, at the time of my marriage my wife was working and she was drawing Rs.25,000 pm. After the delivery she joined in another company for Rs. 15,000 pm. She resigned and being idle from past one year, now she is asking for maintenance of Rs. 15,000 (for her) Rs. 15,000 (for my daughter) Rs. 15,000 (for other expenses).
Here I'm requesting the forum (any of you) to guide/suggest me, to escape/reduce from maintenance what are the necessary steps I need to take.
Regards,
Maddy
