Dowry Abettment Against Wife's Parents

Wife has filed Divorce under HMA 13 and Maintenance under CrPc 125. She had admitted she alleged that she left matrimonial home due to cruelty by husband and mother-in-law after one year of marriage. In the Divorce Application, she has admitted that her parents time and again asked us of our desire to be gifted before marriage which we denied. In the Divorce Application Wife has averred that it is a dowry free marriage. I don't want to take my wife back.

1. Can I file case or fir against MIL and FIL as a abettor for dowry.
2. Can my mother file case against my wife for Domestic Violence under DV Act as a counter case?
3. Does contesting the divorce petition lead to reduction of maintenance and alimony?
4. Or should I deny all allegations yet pray for the allowance of the petition?
5 Or should I file divorce counter claim?

Dear querist,

 

As your wife has already put divorce case in motion than it will be advisable to talk to your wife for Mutual Consent Divorce. Contested divorce or any other case will take your time and money.

 

Reached at suitable amount of alimony than finalize divorce.
