Brother, she has just made a complaint , the FIR is not yet registered.. If no offence is found out during investigation the police will Dismiss the complaint .. 2) if you have a written statement of her living Seprately with her own will you can use it as piece of evidence for filing divorce on grounds of desertion ..

See any proceeding before the panchayat is a nullity. those documents can just be used as a prove.

She can ask for maintenance only by filing a case under section 125 of Cr.P.C.

There is no such punishment for her

If you want you can proceed and file a divorce suit to settle the matter for once and all

Rely upon giirl written statement that she left house on her own free will

Police would issue notice to family members deny allegations made

Apply for and obtain bail

Wait for filing of charge sheet

If wife earning more than husband she is not entitled to maintenance

She has no share in laws property

You can file complaint of criminal defamation against wife under section 500 of IPC

Police can lodge FIR on basis of complaint by wife

2) apply for and obtain AB in sessions court

3) daughter in law cannot seek share in father in law pension

Send her a legal notice proposing settlement and propose that in case she does not settles, you will contained to file a suit for restitution of conjugal rights under section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act. Try to pursue the matter with her once the legal notice and sent to her and if good sense prevails, she may settle the matter. 15-16 years of marriage is a fairly long time and any allegations of violence, cruelty and dowry harassment after such a long time are only going to raise a lot of brows. Having said that, it does not means that such an allegation cannot be entertained but the onus n the female to prove her allegations is very tough to discharge.

No need for AB as there is no automatic arrest and FIR in 498a cases.

She may approach the Court seeking maintenance but since she's earning more than the husband and enough to sustain herself and the daughters, chances of grant of the same to her are minimal.

You can apply for anticipatory bail if you want .. After getting anticipatory bail you will not be arrested through out the trial till the final decesion of the case ..2) she can ask for maintainance even if he is not earning.. Court presumes that some amount he is earning for his survival even if he is unemployed

1. The meeting or settlement made in panchayat has no legal sanctity and if she lodges complaint the police can anyway register FIR and initiate the case.

2. Wait for FIR to be registered. now immediate arrests has stopped.So you get ample time to apply for anticipatory bail once FIR is registered.

3. Unemployment of husband is no excuse if his wife is also unemployed. So she is likely to get miantence.

She can ask maintenance only from her husband.A Hindu male is legally obligated to maintain his spouse. Maintenance includes provision for food, residence, clothing, education and medical attendance and treatment.

As per your query it seems that she has no such claim raised in future. As per the WRITTEN STATEMENT that she is leaving house at her own will and she take responsibility of my daughters upbringing. It can be use as an evidence. Desertion is a continuing offence. A wife is not entitled to any allowance if she, without sufficient cause, refuses to live with her husband.More over a wife who is well qualified and is capable to earn cannot sit idle and claim maintenance from her husband. A well-qualified wife is not entitled to remain as an idle and claim maintenance from her husband.

If she file fake case then contest it on merit and needed take anticipatory bail

yes police can frame FIR but the written statement will be used as a defense when police will take your statement.

You can seek the anticipatory bail in advance, the same is granted from the lower court and you may contact a local lawyer for the same, it is not a difficult thing considering the circumstances of your case.

No father in law is not liable to pay any kind of maintenance.
