498a - dowry demand and harassment by husband and in laws

we had applied for 498 a against my bro in law and their parents due to cruelty and mistreatment towards my sister.

During police counselling - He agreed all the valid conditions and promised to treat my sister good. later when case has been moved to lokadalath judgement, he started creating same issues again.

His demands were meaning less and still irresponsible such as my sister should stop talking to her family members, he will not have to do the same with his parents, he will reach late - no one should object. - where my sisters only demand is treat her like at least human being.

we went to Ladies court and applied domestic violence case as well. both cases were in progress. As their response seems to be not good even after these many cases, we want to move further.

now, confused - few people are asking us to apply for Maintenance case and proceed so that they will pay attention and conclude their opinion. other people are asking us not to apply for maintenance, since it is kind of my sisters disinterest and letting know court that she need divorce - which we don't want.

other party is just seeking for divorce without any justice to my sister and we are getting threatening calls from them. Problem is they are going by lawyers advice and we are still fighting alone.

is it recommended to go with lawyer and maintenance case?

is maintenance case means we are interested in divorce?

we want either her husband should agree and treat her as his wife (or) they should get punish and she should get compensated as she is having a 1 year kid.

498a - dowry demand and harassment by husband and in laws

Hello sir,

going back, their family people cheated us and told he had 2 jobs an one of them he does with his own interest to get himself busy. Later found only one job he had and that also he left and tried for government job by offering bribe. During this time, they all good and my sister is well treated. None of us are blaming since he is at least trying.

Soon after, he lost his money of almost 10 Lakhs in 2 turns for government jobs, his mother started blaming my sister because of her horoscope and started demanding extra dowry. He also started harassing my sister just because his parents will go against him and he may need to earn extra, if he goes out side and life would be difficult.

after 3 efforts of mediators and some elder peoples advice we were forced to calm down and instead begged them to treat her well. In recent times, it went far and they started harassing and allegedly torturing her physically an mentally. When my parents reached their place to bring back my sister to home back, they were brutally beaten and threaten by their relatives and neighbors.

Lack of support from relatives & mediators, we filed case in vizag and they managed it with money. Then we reached Vijayawada and raised a case it is section 498A. The police demanded them to reach station within 12 hours. its been 3 days, they did not turn up. Also now started saying their parents are beaten by my sister so their BP went down and admitted in hospital.

Instead of requests or respectful agreements, they are still trying to give threats by saying they have high influence to escape and they will for go for second marriage.

We need suggestions to get justice for my sister. Currently i am working Norway for clients requirement, so i cannot support my parents and sister. So seeking for an advice.

We still want a happy life for my sister and all we want is her happiness. Tried many times but we are failing every time, because of irresponsibility and his mothers mis-beliefs and cruelty.
