Whether not treating daughter in law with respect amounts to

Whether not treating daughter in law with respect amounts to offence punishable under S 498A of IPC?

 
It appears that after almost a period of three years the
first informant thought fit to lodge the FIR. Rude and
uncultured behaviour as well as perfunctory abuses are
mundane matters and would not attract the rigors of Section
498A of the IPC. There has to be something more to attract
Section 498A of the IPC. Even if I accept the entire case of the
prosecution, there is nothing against the father-in-law and the
married sister-in-law. Whatever little has been alleged is
against the mother-in-law, and that too, hurling of abuses,
using of perfunctory words, etc. They may be morally guilty of
not treating the daughter-in-law with respect in an Indian
society, but such moral acts fall short of an offence under
Section 498A of the IPC.
