Wife has filed many court cases concerning the matrimonial dispute

Dec 23, 2019 |

My wife has filed many court cases towards the matrimonial dispute. I have also filed a case under section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act for restitution of conjugal rights. The said case is running for more than two years and currently at the argument for maintenance. The court has granted the visitation right, but my wife flouted it. Therefore, I filed a contempt of court proceeding against her.

After that my wife approached the high court under section 482 of the CrPC for quashing of the criminal proceeding. She has filed an application under the Domestic Violence Act, and the case is still pending. What should I do to expeditious disposal of all places?

Unrealistic response by wife for RCR notice

Jul 14, 2019 |

I have sent an RCR notice to my wife. She has answered that they will arrange for sitting after two months. Until then she will not come to my house. It seems, even though both of us are staying in Bangalore and my kid will be there at her parent’s house in Hyderabad. They are restricting me to see him not even doing a video call even after multiple attempts. What to do for this kind of response after RCR notice.

Cunning wife demanding money

Sep 20, 2015 | ,

I want to get your kind advise on what to do in the case of my cousin who is facing huge harassment from his wife. He is only 12 passes out, living in Amritsar along with parents and was working in CHINA and married to a girl who is DIPLOMA in nursing and jobless at the time of marriage.

It was an arranged marriage. After the marriage, the girl persuaded him to go to England at study visa. the father of boy borne the whole expenditure to send both of them to the U.K.

But only after 4 months, they both returned on the plea that weather there at the UK did not suit the girl. .the husband while staying a few months went to china. A baby girl was also borne then. When the baby was just 3 months old, the wife put pressure on husband and father in law, that she wants to do B.Sc nursing. Looking for her interest in studying the father in law got her admission in the city itself and college was just 10 km from home.

But soon after the admission, she insisted to study and stay in the hostel. Though unjustifiable, the in-laws bowed at her adamant attitude. Then She shifted her baby to Nani house in Bhatinda. Again the whole expenditure was borne by the in-laws family. After 2 years of study, she passed out and then insisted to do the job in LUDHIANA. i.e. a city where neither her in-laws lived nor her parents lived.

The husband was quite upset abroad decided to return to India. He along with father argued to return to Amritsar and do the job there if she wants to do. but she did not accept .her parents also argued but all in vain.

Despite repeated efforts when she refused to come back one day the husband, along with relatives in consultation with the parents of a girl used a mild force and anger brought the wife back. But this incident she reported to police that husband kidnapped her from the hospital hostel.

All of a sudden her parents also changed. now they are demanding a share from property to get rid of police harassment. Kindly advise what the husband does to save his parents. they already have spent 20 lacs on the wife. i.e. sending Uk and on higher education.
