Can I file dowry & divorce case after 12 years of marriage
03-Feb-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hi, A Friend of mine is married for 12 years and have son aged 11. At the time of fixing marriage, lot of lies were told to the girl's family like the groom is an engineer and owns couple of trucks but post marriage the girl got to know the truth that her husband is jobless and just sits at home and DRINKS and there were no sign of any trucks. When asked, the boy's family said that due to financial problem they sold all trucks. Can she file for a dowry and divorce now. Her father in law says she can't as he himself is a lawyer and her sister in law runs a newspaper agency. Please guide
