Hi, You need to consult the lawyer and brief him with regard to the 498 and maintenance petition. Yes you are very well within your rights to seek divorce on the grounds enunciated in section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act provided you can prove that by adducing evidence.

it all depends on how much your wife can substantiate the allegations that she has made against you. if the allegations are all false and fabricated, then you may file a petition for divorce alleging that you are a victim of malicious prosecution.

hello sir, I went through your query. yes, you can file for divorce on the grounds of cruelty. maintenance alone cannot be taken as a ground for divorce. but yes you can make 498A an annexure in your divorce petition inorder to show cruelty.
