But later in 2015 after her brother got married in January she started pikeing up each and every fight with me and my family and on 29th March she abused my father and started to create a scene on which nabiours called police on which police came but she said to them and it's our husband wife personal matter please do not interfere so they left without creating a scene. On 30th she continued to fight with my family and on 31st her Parental Uncle with his sons and her brother along with her Sister came from Delhi and took her without letting us tell them about our problem when we tried to tell them his Parental uncle told us we know everything plz don't tell us he said I will take her back home and send her back in 3 to 4 months as she gets sattel down with her angry Ness. She asked my mother for all her jewellers on which my mother gave it to her we have the Witten page of her that she has taken her jewellery with her and gave it's copy to police station. Now after 19 month she has filed 4 cases against me , My parents and my brother and my brothers wife ( Who is Her Cousion sister) . We were sent for mediation but it failed as she asked for 1cr.

Fight all the false cases. What you want Divorce or living with her?

If live with her settle the matter amicably, If not file a divorce case against her under the ground cruelty. A Hindu male is legally obligated to maintain his spouse. Maintenance includes provision for food, residence, clothing, education and medical attendance and treatment. The Supreme Court of India has held that no fixed formula can be laid for fixing the amount of maintenance. It has to be in the nature of things which depend on various facts and circumstances of each case. The court has to consider the status of the parties, their respective needs, the capacity of the husband to pay, having regard to reasonable expenses for his own maintenance and others whom he is obliged to maintain under the law and statute. Your wife’s claim is very high.

1. When cases re filed then there is no need to go into compromise with her anymore.

2. Fight the cases on merit. Such cases always results into dismissal and hence there is nothing to worry as such.

3. If you could show her employment then you need not pay her any maintenance.

4. Try to gather evidence of her adultery with her ex lover. That will also help you to get out of the cases.

5. File a divorce suit agaisnt her on the ground of cruelty and adultery.

6. Unless and until you get up and put a brave fight you will never get positive results out of this mess.

Good luck.

If she has filed false cases against you and you family members, you should challenge the same properly in the trial court.

You can discuss with your lawyer on these issues, produce before him the documentary evidences in your support and instruct the lawyer about the merits in your side.

What are all those 4 cases she has filed?
