Dowery and harassment case filed with police authorities
17-Jun-2025 (In Divorce Law)
Wife left for her maternal home accompanied by her brother. Has been accusing of dowry harassment, though no such demand has evr been made. She also aborted the child without consulting the husband. Now she has filed dowery harassment case. Pl advise. Tnx
Sir, though the criminal case has been filed against you by your wife you first secure an Anticipatory Bail from the court concerned and after securing anticipatory bail you can proceed to High Court for the quashing of criminal case filed against you by your wife stating all the facts and circumstance. Now a days courts are keeping a very positive attitude towards husband and quashing false cases filed by wives. You can go with this approach and you will be quite safe.
If your wife has filed a dowry harassment case falsely, and you have never made any dowry demand, you must gather all evidence in your defense—such as messages, calls, or witnesses. Her unilateral abortion without your consent may also support your case. Apply for anticipatory bail if FIR is registered under Section 498A IPC. You can also file a counter-complaint for mental cruelty and misuse of legal provisions. Consult a lawyer to challenge the false allegations and protect your rights legally.
