• Domestic violence threat and divorce

Hi

My wife has previously threated to put me and my family in jail in the past using false reasons. Although she had not done it so far, is there something I could do proactievly to avoid any false allegations /cases against me in future. Is it possible that , if she agrees to, she can acknowledge that she falsely threated me in past fin front of a magistarte and she will not do it in future so that it could be used as a evidence. I work internaltional on assignments and am afarid and not comfortable to stay with her thinking if she files a false complaint say in US, i may be in unnecessary trouble.

your expert help and advise is appreciated

Is your wife staying in US? Has she previously filed a complaint against you in India? You may in order to safeguard yourself apply for bail if and when she files a complaint against you and your family. Simultaneously you may lodge a complaint against her for threatening implication in false cases.

next time when your wife threatens you record her conversations . it is advisable to contact a local lawyer . even if your wife files dv case you can engage a lawyer and fight case on merits . you cannot be arrested in DV case so need to obtain bail .

if your wife is agreeable then file for divorce by mutual consent . in alternative file for divorce on grounds of mental cruelty .

1. The statement before magistrate can certainly be used as evidence against a person. However, it does not appeal to reason that a person would agree to record a statement which has the effect of emasculating his/her legal rights. Hence, it is a foregone conclusion that she will not record a statement.

2. If she does not agree to joint divorce on the basis of mutual consent then apply unilaterally for divorce in India. Court will not require you to live with her.

3. If and when she files a false case against you then contest it on merits through your lawyer.
