Advocate Madhav Lahoti answered
Under IPC 279, the punishment includes up to six months imprisonment, a fine of Rs. 1,000, or both. Under IPC 337, the penalty is up to six months imprisonment, a fine of Rs. 500, or both. Both of these offenses are bailable. If you're involved in a motor accident, a claim can be filed against you under the Motor Vehicles Act before a tribunal, along with a criminal case under the mentioned sections. It is advisable to cooperate with the police and the victim to explore an out-of-court settlement.

Advocate Madhav Lahoti answered
1. You can take back the money or any jewellery by filing an application under Section 12 of the Domestic Violence Act, 2005.2. File an application for maintainence under section 125 CrPC so as to ensure regular source of income for you irrespective of your present income.3. If he files a divorce petition, you will receive a notice to appear in court. In the proceedings it can be argued that the ground for which he is seeking divorce is not vaild, therefore no ground for divorce is made out.During the divorce proceedings, you can ask the court to send the matter for mediation.
