• False Domestic Violence case

Hi Sir,
My brother married to a girl last year , it was arranged marriage. At the time of marriage , she was working at Mumbai and my brother is working at Pune. Post marriage , she was not ready to come at Pune and leave her job. Also, she and her family started mentally harrasing my brother and my family. Also, she was putting question on my brother's character if he is talking to any girl working in his company which is necessity of time. Also, the girl dont have brother, so she was pressuring my brother to leave my parents and take care of her parents. She never gave any respect to my family and brother. She always used to put demand in front of my brother which can't be fulfilled. She used to give money to her family from her salary monthly. 
 She used to abused my parents in front of my brother. she was not ready to spend a single day with my family. She planned a plot with her family and tried to interpret that my family is beating her , but the case was she tried to jump out of balcony , so my family tried to save her.
Now, she fiiled Domestic Violence case against our whole family and demaned lump sum amount which we aree not able to give.
Please suggest what should we do now.
Thanks,
Madhuri

Filing a DV suit is easy but proving it actually is very difficult. Fight the case on merit, engage a good local lawyer.

1. You should collect audio/video recording of all her abuses including threatening to lodge false police complaint if lump sum money is not paid to her,

2. Examine what has been alleged in the said DV case and arrange for the evidence to contest each & every allegations mentioned in the said DV petition.

Hi,

You need to prepare a reply and make your part of defense. Your wife will have to prove her allegations in the court. To disprove her the first way cross examination by your lawyer , whatever the strong case one puts up and alleges, most of them fumble during the cross examination .If there is no evidence to prove that her accusations are true she will not be able to win the case.. In some cases court overlook the cruelty , orders maintenance if the lady is not earning, and other related reliefs under domestic violence act. If you have received the copy of the petition make sure that you prepare a defense for each allegation eyeing the evidence in the court . Narrate everything you experienced and you know about the incidents mentioned in the petition so that your advocate will use each of them to put up a strong defense. Your reply is the best defense in domestic violence case, then see what kind of evidence you have, any witness , any documents, receipts, to prove that she stayed away most days, voice records, also you need to bring a defense that she was blackmailing you with suicidal threats.,

I just mean that filing a DV suit is easy but proving and justifying the violence is another thing. If she has filed the DV case, she has to prove violence in court. Have faith in judiciary, it is always neutral in such cases. Deny all her allegation in the petition, also mention your points. If you have any evidence against her, present that as supporting exhibit. You don't have to pay her anything since your brother's married life is too short + she herself is earning+ she has no liability(child). If she really is as described by you then there are chances she will lose the DV suit or any other suit.
