Thanks for replying.

I understand the concerns and am sure it will not come to a legal resort but if it does (because it has been threatened once by my wife and secondly by my FIL) come to that, I want to be mentally prepared.

Ajay, could you please let me know how to take precautions against DV, 498 A since I am guilty of physical abuse although the said matter was a stray incident and was resolved by mutual discussion.

I have no evidence of my FIL's threats or any other statements.

The thing that troubles me most is the constant fear of being charged of DV even after it is almost a year and the misuse of this fact by my wife to emotionally twist the relationship.

And just to add, my FIL had told us that he would not give MCD and keep the case dragging in courts for years and extract every rupee he spent out of us.

Is this legally possible?

In the worst case, if I am charged with DV what is the course of law then? Can divorce be one of the outcomes?

If ur admitting ur mistake here then its likely that u may admit having done that almost everywhere..

Its along battle ahead of u if she doesnt agree to solve things amicably..

Anyhow ..Isnt there any scope for reconciliations btn u and ur wife..?

Aishwarya ji,

Thanks for replying.

I am all for reconcilations but the bitterness is there because of the "threats". I admitted my mistake gracefully and the matter was resolved but as I said, the emotional arm twisting under the threat of a DV case is ruining my peace of mind.

Hence, I wanted to know as much as possible about DV law proceedings so as to be mentally prepared. Knowing myself, I wouldn't attempt to falsely protect myself.

Dear Loveless

if it is not possible to live togather then ready to fight the cases, as you informd that you are guilty for phisicaly abused, so only way is for your defence talk to your wife and in-Laws & solve the problams, otherwise fight the cases

feel free to call

Sure you can implement all the legal stuff to save urself but its like u never know how much time all this might take and how rough it would be for you..One can say am prepared n stuff but actually no one can get hold upon legal matters and court proceedings..it completely jerks ur life.

You have a chance to do away with all this by making efforts to save ur marriage , the life of ur parents and ur wellbeing..go for maariage counselling and ask ur wife the same..somewhere down the line she would agree to this as no one actually wants to break off thr marriage..

I guess you can save your marriage...there is no major reason for the fight. Both of you can go for marraige counslling. Maybe those people can make her understand to not to bring past incidences to the present. If you have not done it again and you promise not to do it again and if you have lived up to your promise, then she  should have no reason to make it an issue in the present . Or first try to talk to her and promise each other that both of you will fight for the present and in no case dig the past. Though difficult but efforts are needed from both of you .

and by the way when someone theatens again and again for no good...sometimes it works to back off and say that  "Ok go and do it" of course if you are just to her only then.

Another way....when she threatens you..ask her to sit down with you..do not involve anyone...start by

"this is our life we have to be together till the end and no oneelse will be...solve the issue of job...why can't you let her follow her carrier..and ask her to imagine what will happen after she file a DV case or a dowry case and where will life go...it will not be good for either of us...so we both can adjust a little...

( this applies  only if there is no other issue then you mentioned in your post) 

you need to consult a local lawyer . in DV case your wife is entitled to claim right to stay in shared household , proteection order , maintenance etc .

the house where you are staying who si the owner of said flat?

for 498A allegations made be made against your parents . soa dvised you to stay separate and try tos ave your marriage .

In the nutshell, I would like to re-iterate. ITS EITHER COMPLETE SURRENDER OR COMPLETE FIGHTBACK.

Regards,

Shonee Kapoor
