Hi,
I had earlier posted a topic in this forum regarding a mutual divorce. My wife and I have been seperated for 6 months now in our 1 year of marriage. Although she was ready for a mutual divorce, they have stated that they would agree for the mutual consent only after returning all the money and jewellery that were given at the time of our marriage.
However, as per the advices given by many lawyers in this forum I was told not to give all the money before the first petition. When this was communicated by my lawyer to them they threatened us stating that they would file a dowry harrasment case.
Can anyone in this forum help me understand how I would protect myself from such a situation ? Personally I believe that the arm of law is being mis-utilized to take revenge and to force us to give back all the jewellery. This would open up all our defenses and they would be free to push further charges against me.
I want to know if there is any possibility / steps that I can take to safeguard myself and my parents.
