I m also facing it. my wife has aproached to the Police Women Help line seeking permission for lodging FIR under various sections including 498A, however, she was living in complete seperation since more than last 1.5 years and caused disturbed my baby 5yrs old in a boarding school, i was living alone in my house since marriege but she complained against 10 members of my near & dears. A judicial megistrate named Mr. Tayyab Ansari, relative of my ex-wife demanding rs.5 lac to settle this case and pushed my wife to file case under 498A, however, Talaque has already been pronounced much before this complained and she accepted money for MEHR& IDDAT period. There is no remedy for me to safeguard myself from provisions of 498A. I was having my dept. exam next month but i this condition i can not prepare for that and suffering a lot mentally.

My daughter-in-law made a false a case under DV Act against her husband, father-in-law and mother-in-law. Initially, the concerned people in the system suspected us guilty but in the time span they seems to have understood her deeds – i.e. one day she impressed upon police to lodge her another complaint against her husband for beating her. Police did so but in medical report – self made spots found instead of injuries.
Now, perhaps being disappointed from DV Act proceedings, she has disappeared with her 18 months old child. She also broke the internal lock of the room and took away valubles. To know her whereabouts, we tried with her parents, but they are not ready now to talk to us and whereas, they were supporting her all the while in the case.
Now, I am scared that she may now invoke dowry act and get us behind the bars. Though such case will not prove eventually but can cause allied damages to me and my family.
I shall be obliged if someone could advise / help me to come out of the agony.

to rakesh kumar,
attack is the best defence as u know it,
well for custody of ur child u can sought it through the family court
and you can get company of u’r wife by an application for restitution of conjugal rights,
if they both are in illegal custody and they are with u’r in laws with out their
wish , u can file habious courps petition in the high court.
and if u think that it is not possible to live together take divorce on the eground of cruelty by wife due to deseration of husband with out legal reason apply to the family court or civil court for the same.
