Can divorce and dowry case be filed against husband in different state
15-Sep-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I work and live in delhi and my sister wants divorce as her inlaw ill treats her. we all are from Mirzapur up and my sister in married in Mirzapur itself now can i file divorce and dowry case against her husband in delhi state as we think he might bribe every one in Mirzapur as he has many links there but he can't do anything in delhi and we have came with my sister to delhi now if we file case in Mirzapur we have to go there on every hearing. on the marriage card we have the address​ of patna with is my grandmothers house so if not in Delhi can we file complaints in patna?
Don't worry too much about divorce, he wouldn't be interested in you anyways. For dowry, pl first verify if your aukat permits giving dowry. Anyways your question reflects your perverted scheming mind

Has your sister started living in delhi? Does she have a permanent address of delhi, or any id card which has the delhi address or if she is doing a job or something? If in any of the documents, it can be proved that she is a resident of Delhi/Patna or for that matter, that your sister has shifted to any of these cities and is residing there, she can definitely file a case from that particular place.

Yes you can file a suit in two differemt states.
But for you better legal proceedings I would suggest you to file the suits in one state, bcoz you have too also look in the matters for differeent suit.
Delhi will be right place for filling both the suits.
If if you file two cases in different places your husband through his counsel shall trasfered the case in one place of his choice and it may be patna or delhi.
So, Delhi will be the right choice for filling both the case, for Dowry as well as for Divorce.

Considering you a hindu, Every petition under this Act shall be presented to the District Court within the local
limits of whose ordinary original civil jurisdiction:
(i) the marriage was solemnized, or
(ii) the respondent, at the time of the presentation of the petition, resides, or
(iii) the parties to the marriage last resided together, or
(iv) the petitioner is residing at the time of the presentation of the petition, in a
case where the respondent is at that time, residing outside the territories to which
this Act extends, or has not been heard of as being alive for a period of seven
years or more by those persons who would naturally have heard of him if he were
alive.
So in your case respondent does not stay in delhi, nor marriage was solemnized in delhi, nor he lives outside india, nor they two lived in delhi ever. So not possible to file divorce case in delhi.
