A Few Notes On CrPC 125

The credit for this info goes to the original poster/researcher, a great guy and a true 498A warrior.

A Few Notes On Crpc 125

1. The code has dangerous implications – any wife (that includes divorced women) may file a petition for maintenance under CrPC 125. In the event that she doesn’t marry anyone, you are liable for her maintenance for the remainder of her life. You are liable no matter what, whether you pay or you don’t that’s your choice. If you don’t pay maintenance, the Order can go to execution resulting in a warrant against you and potentially Passport cancellation (Passport Act, 1967) – I repeat, passport cancellation – that DOES NOT mean you will be extradited – but it’s a concern nevertheless.

2. Divorced wife means – whether she lives in adultery doesnt affect her rights to maintenance – ONLY if she is capable of earning on her own (has a job) OR gets married – then you are off the hook. Or, you may get US or Canadian citizenship in which case the Indian law doesn’t affect you unless you land in India. Unpaid maintenance resulting in a warrant still remains valid within Indian jurisdiction.

3. Most importantly, US divorce – contested, uncontested, ex-parte, mutual consent, whatever… don’t matter in the case of CrPC 125……the Magistrate at the lower court, may upon his/her discretion, ignore the US court’s verdict. His call on “change of circumstances” is final… if the girl had a job in the US (legal or illegal) and she returns to India just for fun… that’s a change in fiscal circumstance and she may be entitled for maintenance u/s CrPC 125.

Even if you pay/settle in the U.S. or India – she may still claim and get more maintenance, if she has reasons – such as a medical need or any other life events that have changed her fiscal condition (she has blown all the money you had paid in permanent maintenance) .

No matter how fool proof your marital termination agreement here is, she can claim and get maintenance u/s CrPC 125. Monetary sanctions against a wife levied in the US has no impact in India as Indian law and judgments will be based on Indian public policy and socio-economic context.

4. The only silver lining is – if you can smoke her out in the U.S. to participate in a contested divorce, at least the divorce is valid in India.

5. Finally, marital misconduct in the U.S. such as restraining orders on wife’s or arrests of abusive wives may have some feeble impact, if any, on the “FINAL” maintenance order. As far as the interim “maintenance pendente lite” – court awards temporary maintenance based on prima facie assumption of truth on the girl’s petition and cursory review of preliminary facts.

Bad news huh? Well, I learned it/learning it the hard way.

This doesn’t mean however, that we shouldn’t fight – if your case has merits (or so you think) – keep fighting… the ONLY two prongs we have –

1. Lengthier procedure may frustrate the girl’s party

2. She may get married…Hope and pray that she gets married

In this gloom and doom, some rays of hope:

  • Mumbai HC: Deserting without just Cause. No Maintenance
  • THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA
    Criminal Revisional Jurisdiction
    Appellate Side

    Amal Mukherjee
    versus
    Pranati Mukherjee & Anr.

    C.R.R. NO. 399 of 2007

    In the case of Md. Jahangir Khan Vs. Mst. Manoara Bibi, reported  in 1992 Cri L.J. 83, a Division Bench of our High Court held that the future salary not being a tangible corporeal property the same cannot be attached for recovery of the arrear maintenance.

  • More to come…

        Not even in all cases but in most of cases somewhat this law is being misused by women side.this create a pseudo doubt on some genuine cases.ultimately law need a strong investigation based on some real facts only not just based on a false assumption that men will be wrong but women can not be .it should be changed really for betterment of our society and for us also .because we may be the victim in any frame ie husband son father and ………………that blank will be decided by future of this law.

    Ratna Kishore,
    I gues, DV Act is ONLY APPLICABLE ON MALE ADULTS

    i.e. Male person
    and more than 18 years of age.

    if your sisters name is in the case, goto HC and quash and join SIF, you will get a lot of help.

    SIF is non-profit organisation and for any consultation, help or assitance its free….

    it is because ALL members of SIF are one or otherway in your a-like position. and fighting for justice

    Dont be afraid and fight.
    Try arguing the case yourself its better. most lawyers cant argue or put forward your case. take exemption from appearing for anyone you want, courts are generally not very particular of personal appearance.

    Secondly there is nothing to be afraid of facing DV cases, what i mean there is no immediate concern of arrest or the like unless u try not to adhere to anorder already passed.

    just stay cool.

        I got married in 2006 and then in 2008 I had one daughter, who was born in Delhi, whom I love her very much and without her I think my life is not at all successful.

        Since our beginning of the marriage only, My Mother in-law is creating issues or misunderstandings which are not issue at all. She is very nagging in nature. Never gets satisfied with anything. My mother-in-law is quite dominating in nature and also very stubborn. She wants to gain control on everything which I possess. And the same thing has been reflecting in my wife’s attitude. My father-in-law is a totally henpecked husband. Nobody from my wife’s family support me even when they know I am totally right, which really frustrates me.

        Here is the date of incidents:

        Dec, 2006 — Got Married

        May, 2008 – Got blessed with Daughter in Delhi (India)

        Jul, 2011 – Got blessed with Son in Delhi (India)

        From the birth of my son she will never come in our our home last year she lodge a complaint in caw cell in kirti nagar against me along with my old age Dad and Mom and younger brother also all the allegation she filed is totally wrong I’ll prove over there after six months and then my mother in-law close the case temporary and now she made a case for maintenance u/s ipc125 in Tis-Hazare court what should I do…

I also informed three times -06.25, 6.30 and 6.35 to Delhi Police through 100 when they were beating my old aged mother mercilessly (A statement written by my wife is enclosed herewith for your reference.

    I am trapped by a cheat family headed by “Suvas Chowdhury”,and the cruel and greedy lady “Minati Chowdhury” of Farakka NTPC,House No.B-258,Pubarun,Dist. Malda. They trapped me by make arrangement of marriage with their elder daughter “Suparna Chowdhury” who is nymphomaniac and perverted. After marriage (solemnised on 4.02.2009)within 6 months i come to know about their tricks regarding snatch the money from our family. Now they filed false 498A and Sec.125 against me, my old parents and my uncle.We are facing and fighiting the case with full of courage because we know we are not guilty. If any lawyer can suggest me regarding this case please advice. AND ITS AN ALARM TO ALL — BE VERY AWARE ABOUT THE ABOVE STATED FAMILY AS THEY WILL TRY TO GET ANOTHER MAN WITH LOTS OF MONEY AND START THEIR BUSINESS AGAIN.(Their another daughter name is Ritu Chowdhury who is also a perverted and greedy lady).

      Hi Friends, I have also a 498a bitch….
      If you are facing 125 maintenance, and you are govt. employee, but your wife is not working, practically says you have to ready to give them the money and tht money she will use to give her lawyer against you….

      In case of 498A – If you are facing, Its nothing if you get bail and chargesheet filed in court…. it will take 10 to 12 years and in last you will be discharge from 498A

      In case of 406 – She must have to proove all the bills, invoices of her Stridhan which she said…. I sure she did not have nothing like this, Its mean you will be discharged from the 406

      One more thing, If you are facing these sections, dont loose your mind, your mind is ur friend thn you can fight, at last its nothing, Court wants only proofs n just proofs….

    i had an ideal register marriage, performed with a battle in 1991.
    we had many in-fights during this 20 year marital life and we are also blessed with 4 children. To improve my financial status I accepted job in saudi. After that I procured one big house and one apartment. During these years she swindled lot of money and never produced accounts. I declined her huge cash demands and tried to pay most of the payments through cheques. She kept my father away from managing from 2009 onwards. My parents were living separately in rented house for the last15 years. Recently she filed 498a on 19-Agu-2011, when I refused to give her cash 1 lakh, to pay my son’s engg college fees. I arranged the payment through my father. The CI mentioned IPC 498A, 323, 34 mentioning that we “harassed her mentally & physically to bring additional dowry”. Our lawyer prevented the arrest of my parents. But she expelled my parents from my 2nd house-apartment, with the help of police.The first hearing is still due. Our lawyer says we need to wait till that. Please advise what precautionary steps shall we take and what can happen subsequently in the 1st hearing. I am away in
    Saudi, since 31-May-2011.

        if govt wants to make these meaningless gender biased laws for example if newly married wife resides in govt accomudation provided to husband and then govt should give right to that wife in that govt accomudation after divorce as this become her matrimonial home then all govt accomudation will be the property of arrogant wives/ estranged/ divorced wives

        Thanks Mr. Amit,

        Recently I took my vacation in Jun’12.
        I stayed in hyd and tried warrant recall in vizianagaram (vzm) district court.
        Lower court dismissed my petition.
        I appealed in high court. Petition was allowed and warrant recalled.
        I have changed lawyer vzm.
        Executed HC order in vzm with great difficulty and became free.

        She turned down all compromise offers in view that she can avenge.
        Hence even police were also fed up her arrogance and pervert nature.

        Counters filed
        Divorce Case.
        Bind over case against bi*** her family for unlawful evacuation of my parents.

        I sold my house to my mother and sale deed executed and now she will send a notice to the bi*** to vacate the house.
        I am paying rent to my mother and claim this as part of maintenance of my bi*** and 2 daughters.

        My two sons came to me through police station. She can no more file any kidnap cases.
        After one year continuous feeding of police they turned impotent against HC order and they lick more the currency rather than p**sy.

        Now she will be crushed under the iron wheels of time and court proceedings.
        I gave a declaration in the DVC to the protection officer, that I will obey SC orders verbatim and will fight all false 498A & DV cases till last breath for justice.
        I flew back to Saudi, shattering her dream that “I must lose job permanently “ and she wished that I could never take a flight back to Saudi.

        I settled my parents and provided them best lawyer who is a supporter of SIFF.

        Now my best weapon is Indian kanoon.
        I am very happy but not relaxed – the fight is on and goes on and on, until I book them for each and every scene they made and I will complicate the case.
        I do not want this to be quashed.
        I want to face the trial and emerge acquitted. File perjury and defamation and I will punish her with Indian bald widow law.
        Even her bitter enemies will go to her to console and show their sympathy in the next decade.

        Hail Mamata banarjee for her statement “judgment can be bought” – the true phenomena of Indian judiciary.

    I want to brief about my case.
    Married in 2001.A female Birth child in 2003.This greedy women Mostly lived in own parent house.Case 125 crpc filed by my wife in 2006,at bnk. dist.up.In march 2007,she came after compromise by court. During this period she shows pregnancy and gave a birth of male child.after that she filed a separate 125 crpc case for this male child maintenance.
    After 6 month she again went her home,and filed criminal case on me and my family members, 498 a,523,and dowery act etc. I got arrest stay from HC,lko.. Then I filed divorce sec-13a, 2008 at lko. and I got ex-party from family court lucknow, at Lucknow,up, in 2009.Now I got married and wedlock of one male child.

    After that, she filed a restoration case, saying i dont have any knowlage abot this case. I filed counter case 340 crpc on this case,This case run upto 2014, and this case also kharij or dismiss, due to filing of counter case u/s 340 sec. and also abcence of her.

    The maintinance case of barabanki is running stil.Here, I also filed counter case u/s 340 on sec-125 case along with so many contradictory evidence as she given as PW1,PW2 etc.which clearly show that these all cases are fake/furjee.

    Due to 340 case , no judge want to take any action against this lady.and henc passed 3 years giving date and only date.I want to decide with permanent alimony. but this lady asking 25 laks. and judje is also fevoring to her. which is just not possile for me.I am giving maximum 4 laks. but she is not ready and haressing. beacuse i have to go to other dist. for attending case.

    I have quarry. Kindly.Kindly tell, suggest and advice me what should I do……
    1)-Weather my ex-wife is entitled for any maintenance after divorce.
    2)-If the 125 crpc case is fake, then why I should I pay for that.?
    3)-I am responsible for only my child, and I want to pay only my child.
    4) should I decide maintenance 125 crpc in normal procedure as by court ? with not pressing of 340 sec which filed by me?

However i had made one mistake of filling a wrong/forged salary slip. Would that create a problem in decision of court. My wife had also falsely put up that she is not working but proven wrong by me by telling her job related place.

    After i filed a divorce , she fled to India and filed 498a and Crpc 125 against me and my family, I have ot the Bail for 498a . Now the Crpc 125 is pending,
    My salary in United states as converted to INR is 6 lakh per annum,So she need 3 lakh per month as maintenance and 3 crore for alimony. Being said,

    I dont have any property and asset in india or United States. And my actual in hand income is 3 lakh per annum, out of which my expenses in Unites states is 2.5 lakh. So barely i am left with 50,000 INR of excess income. now she is demanding a very high settlement of 3 crore and some 3 lakh per month to maintain her self.
    She is rich and from influent family and have very high qualification, also i learnt that she has started doing some job in india, which she is hiding.
    Now in this situation how can i avoid giving her any settlement and maintenance. We dont have any kids and our marriage was through matrimonial and just 1 year long.

Some Interesting Stats On Arrests Of Women

In 1930, the British govt arrested 17,000 women for their involvement in the Dandi Yatra (Salt March). During 1937 to 1947 (10 Years), they arrested 5,000 women involved in the freedom struggle. From 2004 to 2006, the govt of India arrested 90,000 women of all ages under 498A. On the average, 27,000 women per year are being arrested under this flawed law. These are stats from the NCRB.
