Re: Divorce & dowry

At once submit a detailed written police complaint that your wife is threatning you with such false reasons. Also mention the fact that she is threatning your family people also. Mention the fact that her intention is that to extort money from you. In this way at least you can be on record that she is threatning you and besides your legal remedies you can have some justification.

Sir,

Do u still live together or saperately?

Go first of all for anticipatory bail for your sister, yourself and mother.

She cannot have anything more then maintenance and in case of divorce any amount as fixed by the court in full and final.

Do not conced to the women, wait and watch her game plans. Contact an expert attorney who can handel the situation very well.

Kindly let us know from which state and city your belonging.

If your wife is willing to settle all the issues or dispites with you than it is better for you to resolve your all dispute amicably to avoid yourself in mutiplicity of courts proceeding may be false after all in that event you and your family members will get lot of mental tension and financial loss. In failure of settlement it is advicable for you and your sister to take anticipatory bail from court.

Contest the false dowry case properly in the concerned court and against blackmailing and fliling false case, you may lodged complaint to concered police authority.

You have to comply the court order if there is any and if you aggrieved from the order than you may file appeal. But mind it your wife has a right to claim maintenance from you through court or otherwise by settlement if you amicably arrived. For further query contect me.

Re: Divorce & dowry

As stated, if threats are false, you are entitled to prosecute her by police complaint for the same. This also can be an additional ground for divorcing your wife and if the concerned court holds her claim to be false she may lose her right to maintenance subject to other circumstances in your case.

If the threats are persisiting and you have apprehentions that she may really do file such false cases you may engange an appropriate Advocate for aniticipatory bail.

Re: Divorce & dowry

Donot show your weakness of getting afraid from threat given by your wife and her advocate.Since divorce case is pending and a false dowry case has already been filed so she has very limited scope of anything else.Ask her and her advocate to do whatsoever they wish to do. Take note that if you will surrender or would show your weakness then you will get blackmailed by them and then there will be no end.You have option for anticipatory bail in case necessity arise.So be brave and face the situation.your wife and her advocate are taking wrongfull advantage of your weakness.For any other query/assistance you may call on my mobile.
