My mother in law claiming my wife's salary

Hi Ranee, 

I request you to pls quote such judgments where extra marital affair is termed as a DOWRY DEMAND. ALso, pls quote the judgment where DIL was thrown out and was convicted for 498a i.e DOWRY DEMAND.

Taking away wife's salary may come under economic abuse. But what would be the situation when wife does voluantry contribution and then fights DV based on lies ?? Do you think, is that justifiable ??

Well Ranee, i am of the opinion that couple should be subjected to LIE DETECTION Test as a mandatory condition for these cases. I am fed up of the cooked stories. When i use to confront such unscruplous ladies, then they avoid  to answer my questions.......I have experienced this N number of times.

please this judgement.

for the other judgements please study yourself in this site..I reda those in this forum only.

Counter to the high court judgement by SC:

2013

This judgement by a bench of SC has declined to accept extra marital affair as Cruelty under 498a.

I feel it is thoroughly injustice to the man in the judgement that Ranee posted. Judges are also confused huh!!!
How come his parents were charged and then acquitted by law. Convicted for illicit relationship and if a girl does the same then the husband can do nothing but watch. What a country!!!

I agree with you @ Stalker....I want adultery law to cover women too.Now a days some women are not Abla like when such law was enacted.It need to be amended.

One thing more Ranee, here the wife committed suicide. Dowry Demand definition says that the act of cruelty can only be considered u/s 498a if (c the below judgment from SC) and the one you have quoted has already been overruled by the Apex SC. But still i feel if it is a real act of illicit relation, he should be convicted for cruelty (though we do not have any other section for cruelty) but not for dowry demand.........
