  • My in-laws have put a case saying that I am impotent and they are asking for a huge compensation

Hi I got married a month back and live in Mumbai. Me and my wife haven’t been able to consummate our marriage as I always was tired post coming from office at late in the evening while leaving early in the morning. My in laws came a week back and they took my wife saying that you are impotent. Couple of things here:
I didn’t try having sex most of the days in the past month 
They are threatening my parents that my parents knew about my impotency and still got their daughter married to me. I am not impotent. My father asked me to visit a doctor to verify and my all hormone levels are okay. 
They are demanding a compensation of much more than what they spent in the marriage.

What should I do next. They have already put a case. 

Does the court allow you to have a medical check up to prove innocence.

yes court does, but honestly speaking your wife should have understood you instead of throwing such tantrums, would you still want to live with such a woman, upon consummation you might have a child and then your wife can create more trouble and seek more money, instead go to doctor get your medical check up done from both government hospital and private hospital and keep it aside.

I feel you must think again before taking decision in haste.

This is my response to you:

1. The court will ask you to medical check up;

2. Once the report comes normal then you can file a counter claim for compensation for wrongful case filed against you;

3. Most likely they will drop the case;

4. You can file RCR against your wife to ask her to live with you again;

5. If you are fed up then you can file for contested divorce.

1) you can undergo potency test to prove you are not impotent

2) no need to pay the compensation levels demanded by your wife

3) file petition for RCR

4) take plea that you did not have sex as wife refused to have sex

Nothing to panic, impotency if not a easy terms to prove in court, there are so many form of impotency, Court will order medical examination, On the contrary, can paste allegation on wife, as she refused to cohabit,Once proved through medical report, negative impotency.

Rest her claims will refute and delude itself.

Dear,

Yes, court allow you.Your advocate have to file application for checkup and all.

THEN YOU undergo PIPE test Rigi scan monitor, PICP test (for penile intra Corporeal pressure) and DDPU test

(Duplex Doppler penile Ultrasound) which is now a proved test for having a scientific opinion regarding potency.

Then doctor's examine all the things and issue report's in front of court.

They cannot expect everything to happen within short period of marriage.

The conjugal relationship between certain couples may take time to materialise owing to several factors.

If she had waited patiently for another month or discussed this issue with you elaborately instead of making a complaint with her parents, everything would have been solved by now.

What is the case they filed against you?

In fact even annulment case will not be maintainable for the marriage which is hardly one month old, you cn challenge her case properly.

If you are confident about you dont worry about the cases they filed or about your pentency
