Hello,

I understand the fact that the law is biased towards the women but you always have a recourse.

You should have gone for FIR quashing at that instance.

You can file a divorce case on the ground of divorce, as not allowing the boy to live with the parents amounts to cruelty.

Also, you may leave her immediately and come to your parents house and file a reply and if subsequently case is filed by her then you can defend the case.

You will just have to spare sometime and money in order to defend the case. NOT EVERY THING IS AGAINST YOU.

Regards

Your parents should refuse to agree to their demands

2) under no circumstances should they transfer property in your and wife name

3) since you are staying in separate rented flat it would insulate your parents to some extent in case false dowry harassment case is filed against her

4) apply for and obtain AB from sessions court

1. Well,mere mere capacity to earn is not a ground to avoid maintenance.

2. So if you can not show income of your wife she is entitled to maintenance which is around 1/4th of your income.

3.If you think this marriage fails then propose her to apply for mutual divorce for which you may will have to pay him one time settlement money.

She can't compel you to abandon your parents and live with her in a separate accommodation. This is an unlawful demand and on this basis itself, you can obtain divorce from her.

Thus, you're advised to seek divorce from her on the above ground amongst others.

As regards to 498a, don't be wary of it even if the FIR is lodged. That's because 99% 498a cases result in acquittal of the accused within 4-5 years of lodging of the FIR. Moreover, there is no automatic arrest in such cases anymore. You'll be easily granted bail! Be assured.

Hello friend , you should have taken a legal advice much before when all these mediation process was goin on .. It is adviced to take a stand for your parents and for yourself .. The judicial system may be favourable for women but it is not biased .. Yhe things will get worse if you , scumb to her demands.. Let them file complaints , they will not be able to proove them in court .. Do not transfer the property in her name , and if possible record such conversations for court evidence .. She cannot claim maintanace from you as she is working and earning a decent salary ..

Yours is a situation which is abundantly prevalent in the country and the innocent men like you are the victims and sufferers.

The threats of IO should not have been taken seriously by you.

In the event of a FIR, you could have taken AB and challenged her false cases on merits.

The IO has power only till his police station, he cannot influence court or law beyond the police station, and in the police station also his duty is only to register FIR and submit charge sheet to court.

There is nothing that the laws favor women alone, it is common for all, you could have fought the same on merits instead of budging to the pressure.

Even now you can decide to divorce her if the situation is beyond tolerance and it will not be feasible to live with her anymore.

If she lodges a complaint once again then you may obtain AB and then challenge her cases in court properly,.
