In early 2011 ..wife forces husband to buy property - wife and her father finalise a property coax the husband to and registers the property in both husband and wife's name - even though father of wife paid for the same.
Husband is forced to pay back the money to wife's father in installments. Husband does for about 6-7 months.
Now wife demands a house to be constructed even though well knowing that husband cant afford. Husband requests the wife to have patience and decide after 3-4 years on constructing.
Wife threatens husband that she will divorce him if he does not agree to her demands. Husband says "do as per your wish.. I cannot afford now".
Wife and wife's father torture husband, beat him up and throw him out of the rented house where wife and husband stayed.
Husband is distraught. Takes help of frinds and finds another home and is staying separately in a rented home alone. stops paying the monthly amount to wife's father as there is no more relationship existing
Aug 2011 - Husband decides to get rid of the property by signing a release deed - now the sole owner of the property is the wife.
Husband and family members receive a FALSE 498A notice in Oct 2011 (case still pending). Family members freed of the charges as they never stayed to gether an chargesheet filed only on husband.
Nov 2011 - Husband receives a divorce petion which is filed by wife in family court (Case going on)
In between, received multiple calls from wife's lawyer, wife's father to settle the matter out of court by paying X Lakhs of amount - to which no one has responded.
Sep 2012 - Wife files sec242 and 173 to reopen the case on husband's family members and conduct another investigation - Case dismissed in Nov 2012.
Dec 2012: wife files interim maintenance in family court u/s24 - case pending.
Jan2013 - received a notice that wife filed FALSE DV act 12
Points to be noted:
1) Wife very well qualified - working in an MNC earning a very handsome salary. Has travelled overseas for work and stayed for 6-7 months. Now staying at her father's place.
2) Wife owns a 4 wheeler and has a lavish life. Also came to know that wife has even started constructing a house on the very site.
3) Wife has reportedly quit her job in the MNC in Dec2012 - but quite sure that she is working else where.. not sure where though
4) Husband also works in an MNC. Husband does not own any property. nor does he own any 4 wheeler. To this day, travels in a bus to reach office and come back.
Question: Will the DV act stand a chance if wife has filed the case after 2 years of separation? Can her claims for maitenance go through if she is working, has a lavish life?
