False allegations for ornaments after possession by wife


05-Feb-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Dear, I have filed a contested divorce petition as my wife disagree for a mutual petition in the year 2020. We were hardly together for less than 3 months and she kept changing advocates. Now in the year 2021 she filed DV against me and my parents alleged for recovery of gold ornaments and maintenance though she has taken everything along with her on her way to home. Only few of the dress and ornaments gifted to me and my mother are kept at my custody. She has bill for her gold purchase and also the possession of gold. Kindly explain how to deal with this as my divorce petition is still pending. It's pertinent to mention that she was not cooperating during mediation and alleges money instead.

Yes, a husband can take legal action against his wife if she has taken his gold and made false allegations about it. If it's proven that the claims were intentionally false and damaging to his reputation, he may file a defamation case. Additionally, if the false accusations have caused him emotional distress or mental suffering, he can seek divorce on the grounds of cruelty under matrimonial laws. Depending on the circumstances, he may also file a police complaint for theft or criminal breach of trust, provided there's enough evidence to support the claims.

You have to file a decent reply to the petition filed by your wife and tell the court that all the gold ornaments are with the possession of your wife only. And if your wife is also earning then you must also mention it to avoid any kind of maintenance as claimed by your wife. For any other legal assistance I am just a call away.

You can file a reply to the divorce petition with each and every details of the ornaments. If she has not alleged them in the past, asking for them now may be a tactic to get money from your side. Nonetheless if she had purchased it in her name, you might be ordered to return the said ornaments so be prepared for the same.
