IPC 420 in matrimonial case what will be the reprcussions


12-Dec-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My wife filed 420 on me and my family in a matrimonial matter along with other 498a etc typical cases. I need to know if I'm in a problem because of 420? Or is it just like other matrimonial cases people don't take seriously? What can police do now that they have charged me and my family with 420?

Offence u/s 420 IPC is non bailable and attract imprisonment up to 7 years. U contest the case on the basis of that receipt and go the High Court for quashing of FIR, but as per amendment in criminal procedure code police can not arrest you and your family members for 420. For further details and help i need your FIR.

You can not take ipc 420 easily , if it has been registered against you also you have to keep in mind what evidence your wife have to prove 420 on you. Therefor you are advised to hire a lawyer to safeguard yourself.

Sir, the query is not very clear but as long as Hindu marriages are concerned, section 420 IPC is not applicable in matrimonial cases as it is a sacrament and not a contract unlike Muslim marriages which are contracts basically.
