Can somebody pls. give the citation wherein Supreme Court has brought baseless allegations regarding character of lady under the ambit of domestic violence?

Dear Arjun,

Yes, it amounts to cruelty and defamation.  Can be prosecuted under sections 498A and 499 of I.P.C.

From another point of view, when baseless allegations were made touching the character of the other spouse, it amounts to cruely and it is a good ground for divorce.

I agree with sridhar.

:-) File a complaint, someone takes it in higher court a new citation would be made.
