Sister-in-law threatning for 498

Hi Experts,

 

My brother got married 3 yrs ago. Since then his wife has been emotionally absuing him and everyone in my our family including our old parents.

She does not let my brother to speak to anyone, she abuses everyone  and treats  and expects everyone to be her servant.

She threatens to file for 498 if we try to even speak to her to get the matters sorted..

What do we do.. We are stuck in the whole matter so badly.. We want a divorce and out, but then we just do not know what will she do..

what options do we have ?  Do we have any options at all?

Please advice..

Thanks

Complain to the police about the possibility of her implicating you in a false case. File a divorce petition before she slaps a false dowry case.Remember that no course of action can offer a complete protection against any false case that might be registered by her against your brother and the other family members. You may also consider filing for quash if and when a false 498A is lodged.

Thanks Ashish,

Few questions:

1. what is quash?

2. what about filing for "restitution of conjugal rights"  as she is not doing her duty of  wife even though she stays in the same house?

3. will the police accept it if we say that the false case can be filed against us?

4. It is so strange that we can absoluetely not do anything  about it.. what about neighbors, friends who know the whole situation?

Thanks
