Dear experts,
Wife filed divorce case. She couldn't submit a single evidence against me but I submitted over 100 evidences against her. I don't want divorce as we have 7 year old girl child. As of now cross examination is done and final hearing is pending.
After cross examination, honorable judge also said that just showing sibling's SMS that get money from your parents is not dowry. Such SMS even wife can write using husband's phone. Same is the case with e-mail. Just casual discussion out of frustration cannot be called dowry. I don't remember which Supreme court guidelines honorable judge referred but he clearly said that educated women should not abuse dowry law with just electronic document. If she was actually treated badly for not fulfilling dowry demand then why she didn't file FIR before filing divorce case on dowry? He clearly mentioned that just dowry allegations in petition are not enough. My lawyer also pointed out that dowry email anyone can write using outlook and change "From" e-mail. It cannot be called proof.
Since dowry allegations were against me, my parents and siblings, I would like to know when is the right time to file defamation case against her since such allegations are on public domain ( on court's website ) ?
I would appreciate if lawyers in Mumbai can provide their number in personal message and cost along with their expertise in winning case against biased law and defamation case. I know very well that judgement may not be in my favour but I would like to go ahead with defamation case.
Best Regards,
AK
