Yes, you should make the first move before they file a false and concocted case against you.

File a petition for restitution of conjugal rights since your wife has left you and living in a separate accommodation in the same city.

Contact a local lawyer.

Hello,

Do not lodge a complaint. If you want to fight the case legally then go ahead and file a petition for restitution of conjugal rights under section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act and thereupon request the court to pass an order that the wife be directed to join you back.

Respected sir ...

In your case it will be much better for you to collect evidence against her that might be in audio recording or and video clip or any source of evidence that can prove that she had an extra martial affair with someone ..Then you have to file a divorce petition under section 13-A of HMA seeking divorce on the basis of Adultery ....You will be easily get divorce and if you file divorce petition prior to her then it will work as a defence when she will file fake cases against you ...

Thank you

You please need to give some information so that I can help you in a very way.

But, still I would say that please file a divorce case against them on the ground of adultery, if you can proove this. That is the best way for you to not to give any money to them even after the divorce also.

Rest, you can file a criminal case against the guy with whom she has been in relation even after the marriage, it just that you have to show that the other guy has knowledge of your marriage and he is gone for sure.

Rest you can have a detail conversation with me over phone through Kanoon.

File a criminal complaint of adultery against the lover of your wife and file a divorce against your wife on ground of cruelty and adultery as a adultery case against women is not maintainable in India only it is ground for divorce.

Also file a complaint against your wife for criminal intimidation also threatening for false cases.

So file complaint let police investigate provide proof her relationship with other man and record the conversation of father in law and wife threatening for money

1) RCR is useless. Even if you get a decree you cannot force wife to stay with you

2) gather evidence of her adultery then file for divorce on grounds of mental cruelty and adultery

3) you can file Police complaint as mentioned herein above

Yes, the moment you file divorce on the ground of adultery your family would have something in their favour if she goes for 498a (and. Ow there is the guidelines for treating the same cases but not to arrest straight away).

Yes, indirect proofs would also be sufficient.

If possible you can have e detail conversation with me through Kanoon, I advice you to go for that so that I can understand more better.

1) You can file complaint against her on adultery basis so you don't have to pay any alimony or one time maintenance.

If you have evidence about her acts of adultery with a third person, you can lodge a complaint with the police against the paramour of your wife.

Also you can file a divorce case on the grounds of adultery by impleading the paramour as 2nd respondent.

provoked by your legal action, she may abuse the women biased law by lodging criminal complaint for dowry harassment with false contents and evidence.

Then you may obtain AB and challenge the false case on merits.

what should be my line of action or reaction??

You may gather evidence of her adulterous life and first atack her paramour by lodging a criminal complaint under section 497 IPC.

After that you may go for divorce on the same grounds.

Can i file a complaint regarding her behaviour n attitude towards my family n her father's intention toward money extortion, so that whenever she goes for the 498a ,dv n other cases, me n my family members would be at a safer side to get AB..

There is no provision in law for filing any criminal complaint in this ground or for this reason.

You can issue a legal notice to her father stating that he is trying to extort money illegally in the name of compromise settlement and to warn him from indulging in such activities in future lest to face legal consequences.

Whatever it may be, without evidence of her attitude and character, you may not be able to succeed in your attempt to initiate legal action on her for this.

Instead you may file divorce case on the grounds of mental cruelty citing all these as reasons.
