Deserted from 9 months and filed CrPC 125 and Dv case.

We got married last year, an arranged marriage via matrimony site. We were together for less than 3 months. She went to her parent's home for no reason, its been 9 months she is there. She has filed CrPC 125 and DV case on me, all false allegations(not enough food), I am still in shock. I am getting ready to fight these false allegations she made, what should I do? I have talked to one of the lawyer here. I also worry about interim maintenance now. I really need inputs to fight these false cases. Both of us are engineers, she used to work prior to marriage. As she is BE computer distinction, she is very well capable to earn but she is purposefully sitting at home. What are the chances of interim maintenance to her if I am earning 90k a month?

Present copies of her education to the Court while facing trial for 125 Crpc. There two conditions which need to be satisfied by her to award her interim maintenance by the Court.

a) she is unable to maintain herself

b) the husband should have refused to maintain her.

A common experience shows that u/s 125 Crpc, it is very difficult for wives to get interim maintenance.

Go through:

Remember, section 24 HMA judgements prevail over 125 Crpc judgements.

"Not enough food" is the most commonly cited allegation in 90% of the disgruntled women in matrimonial ligitations and this has been noticed by SC, too. Nothing to worry about it. Wife can never prove that in Court.

 

To claim maintenance from DV case, she needs to prove DV has occurred to get the judgement in her favour.

If the DV case turns out to be false, file case of criminal defamation and an application u/s 340 Crpc against her.

Sir,mentainance u/s 125 of CrPC is generally granted if the court satisfied that the wifeis unable to maintain herself n husband is not maintening her. In ur case question is whether she left the service just after the marriage on husband advise or after she left husband home.1st situation may goes in her favour

@Santosh:  You should use your own thread to post your queries and not to post them in others thread, you will not get proper answer or opinion to your query.

Well  the grounds you have stated here are not convincing for any justification that you project from your side.  Mere elder by age by three years and had been taking treatment for back bone problem will not be termed as an act of cheating. Also this will not lead to a substantal ground for divorce or to defend yourself in the ongoing RCR case.  You have to look for the actual ground to defend.  

What about the divorce case you have filed?, what was the gorund mentioned in it? 

You interlink both the cases  by getting both transferred to a single court and pray for joint trial which will provide you with the desired results.,

@Mail123  If she has filed maintenance  and DV  case against you on some false allegations, you have o defend them properly based on the merits in your side.  The burden will lie on her to prove the allegations hence ask your lawyer to quiz her properly during cross examination  to extract the fact of falsity in her claim.  If she is not employed now, then maintenance cannot be denied to her just because she is highly qualified but not working. Try some other reason to defend yourself or to repudiate her  claim.
