• Domestic violence case settlement

Hi,
My brother was married in 2010 and in 3 months his wife left the house in a big fight and to take revenge she put dowry case and domestic violence case.She is in her parents house with a kid for past 3.5 years.

Yesterday we got the judgment for the domestic violence case where my brother was asked to pay Rs 10000 for his wife and Rs7000 for the child and 20 lakhs settlement. This is very unfair since my brother earns just Rs 50000 gross monthly and has no property and just personal loans.

can we appeal against this ? His wife is MBA and well off and doing this to get revenge.

Hi,

It seems your brother was not defended properly in the trial court. Now go ahead with an appeal in the sessions court and defend the same on grounds that she is educated with an MBA degree and if any other sources of income, property in her name. There is a lot of chance to get the amount getting reduced, if you can prove that she has means to maintain her. If at present she is not working court will order an amount but consider her qualification and will surely reduce the same.

You may certainly challenge this judgment by way of filing an appeal. Since wife is MBA she is not entitled to get any penny.

Dont think this is the end. Challenge the judgment in a higher court through appeal and a relief can be surely expected.
