Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether the police can file a chargesheet under the Domestic Violence (DV) Act if a 498A FIR lacks dowry evidence. The case involves an audio recording where the husband used foul language towards his wife during an argument about grandchild access. The user, representing the husband, seeks clarification on whether such arguments and the husband's language are sufficient grounds for charges under 498A or the DV Act, especially when the wife's primary motive appears to be financial control.

Respected Ajay Sir,

actually I am from Husband's side. My queries are:

1) 498A FIR was raised by the wife, but there are not evidences regarding demand of dowry only evidence is the audio recording where wife has denied access to grandchild to grandparents and hence quarrel has started and husband has scolded wife in foul language ( loafer, you are cunning, i know your true colors, we are financially better than you , you are acting too smart, b*tch etc)

2) Is such common quarrels sufficient to frame the husband in 498A or DV Case and punish him from court. Please guide me sir,

i don't know should i give in or fight back, wife is a cunning and mean women, Husband can't be happy with her. Wife wants to take control of Husband's finances and wants to control husband.
