Dear All
My wife and her father are trying to file a false case againts my family under section 498A, DVC,125 CPC etc
They had already demanded a huge alimony for getting divorce for which i had rejected , We had not take any thing as dowry from them till date , which we are sure that we can prove when the time comes , Marriage was broken because my wife left the house without informing to me and neither she willing to join me after my request
Now my question is :
1) what kind of case can i file against them incase they file false case against my family ?
2) if suppose they file 498A agaist us as dowry matter as that is main weapon for them
Can is also file a case against them as giving dowry is also illegal as per law can you give me more details who i can do this and what is case no
please i request you to give clear details ASAP

If your wife has left you without any reasonable excuse then you could file a case for restitution of conjugal rights u/s 9 of HMA and yes, since giving dowry is also an offence you could also file case under then under Dowry Prohibition Act if they admit of giving dowry.
