Respected Sir,

With respect to your query 498A of IPC it is very common the misuse of this section in any dispute between husband
and wife it is also noticed by Hon'ble Supereme Court. It will be pertinent to note that by bribing they can make a statement but they cannot make a case against you as upon cross examination they will be suffer if you are not wrong. To take it further yes a divorce petition can be filed against your wife on the grounds of cruelty and various other sections of IPC. Do let me know for any further help.

First of all he needs to file a complaint against her based on the facts to protect himself.
Secondly, you need to have a good lawyer to defend the case.
Your brother in law can file for a divorce petition irrespective of this case.
He can also go for quashing of the case filed against him.

If bail is already granted then no arrest can be done in the same case unless bail is cancelled.

Divorce petition can be filed by the husband, if not physically present then through Power of Attorney.
