You can go for DV in which you can be awarded a monthly maintenance and also a lump some alimony. You can also file for divorce if your husband’s behaviour is intolerable towards you. A FIR can also be done for any physical abuses.

You needs to initiate a complaint with the CAW cell. Do take assistance from a lawyer since it will be used as a mother document for all future proceedings. Further you can file a complaint under the Domestic Violance Act.

Dear Madam,
To teach them a lesson and to save your marriage you have to give mild shock treatments to them by filing multiple cases like Domestic Violence case, Maintenance case, 498A of IPC and Section 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. They will come to compromise after few days.

You can file a 498A, DV Act Case, Maintenance included in your DV case and demand your Streedhan by filing a case u/s 406 IPC if not given to you by your husband amicably. If you do not want divorce, you can contest the case.
However, if you follow up with so much litigation, it is better to go for divorce at a decent alimony and/or maintenance amount.

The case can be made against them by you provided you carry substantial material to prove the latter. Even if you don’t then you still can file a domestic violence case. However, if you haven’t filed a complaint under section 498A IPC then go ahead with that. I’m an advocate for Delhi Police and will explain you the process and procedure as how to initiate it.

if you have a genuine case against your husband and in laws, you may file a case under 498 A against your husband and inlaws but if you file a false and proximate case you may face problems. No one is allowed to misuse the act and rules, which are made for the well-being of society and establishment of its smooth function. If there is any real issue of domestic violence certainly you may file a case under 498 A. Before filing such type of case you must meet to a good lawyer of your area and consult him and try to understand every matter and pros and cons of your legal issue. Thanks

Yes. you can file a dv case and it will stand good in law. but without a further delay. Divorce case has no effect on other proceedings. Make sure you fight the case with best of your spirits and the law will favour you. seek maintenance as your right and other order such as residential orders.
