I got married 8 months (july 2016) back in Patiala Punjab. After 5 months (Nov 2016) my wife left my house in mumbai and went to her parental home in chandigarh because according to her I was not able to bear her monthly expenses and quality of life is not good with me. I have some of her recording with such claims. I work in pune and bought a flat in mumbai before marriage. After marriage she refused to come to Pune and insisted to stay in Mumbai flat so that she can work. She lived alone there and started to do a job also. I used to go there on weekends only. As the flat was recently bought it was not furnished so she started fighting with me on that. I tried explaining her that we will buy everything but it will take some time. But she didn't want to listen. In month of October she said to me that she is pregnant but never showed me any reports of it. I believed her. She also said that she had done compromise with her life style but she will not compromise with her child's. I assured her that everything will be ok but in November she said she had a miscarriage and started blaming me and my sister (lives in same building but different flat) for it. At that time I was not there so my sister asked her to visit a doctor but she refused and next day she left from mumbai to her sister in Gujrat saying she will go to doctor there. But she never showed any reports of that also. And now she is in chandigarh blaming me and my family for mental harassment and dowry demand. I tried talking to her but she always refused to talk. She has filed a complaint in their local police station against me and my family. My mother-in-law is a woman's activist and having some political contacts so they are trying to harass us by calling us to police station. The inspector their threaten us to put in jail. Every time I went there I told them my decision that I want her to come back and live with me in Pune. But they are not agreeing to it. Also they are not telling what they want. It seems like they are waiting for me to change my decision and ask for divorce so that they can claim alimony. Inspector keep on calling us for meeting in a week or 2 weeks time knowing that it is very difficult for me to take leaves and travel from Pune to Patiala. Please advise what should I do now? Is it really a mental harassment case? I never asked for dowry from my in-laws but they are accusing me for that.

The women would take this weapon called legal terrorism in the form of 498a and dowry prohibition law to scare and pressurise the innocent husbands.
You dont attend the summons issued by the police an can take AB if necessary or stay back in Pune itself so that the police will become tired looking for you from their place itself, they would not travel to Pune to take you to Patiala.
There is no FIR filed yet. But we have been told by Police that there are some serious complaints against Me, my Father and my sister. As advised we have engaged a lawyer in Patiala and filed a case under section 9 that girl is not coming back from her parental home. Can they lodge a FIR now though my wife was living alone in my Mumbai flat and at the time of miscarriage also she was all alone. I was in Pune. My father was in Patiala and my sister was at her job in mumbai. Also she refused to visit any doctor in mumbai that day and never produced any reports of any doctor from Gujrat.
1) wife can file FIR although she was living alone in your mumbai flat
2) most of allegations are false
3) obtain AB in case FIR is filed for family members and contest case on merits
The police would register FIR based on the preliminary enquiry and cognizance of the offence.
So you can apprehend anything any moment even though the circumstances do not favor any such crime, but these can be argued only before court and not with the police.
