Regarding mediation in Domestic violence case.


06-Mar-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hi, My wife left matrimonial house on sept 17 due to silly issues, Our family members contacted my wifes family and tried to settle the issue, but they demanded mutual consent divorce, for which we agreed and asked them to move to the family court and proceed with divorce. Instead they filed a false 498a case against me. My wifes family members again demanded 10 lacs as settlement for MCD and organized a panchayat in hometown. i declined and told them take the proceedings in court. My wifes advocate contacted my advocate and asked to make a different house and stay away from parents then only my wife will rejoin me. My advocate declined this and told my wifes advocate that it is impossible to leave behind my parents and asked them to proceed with applying for divorce. Now instead of applying for divorce my wife has put a DV and asked for mediation. Dont understand why she is wasting her time on DV instead of divorce? how should i proceed further? Thanks

Hi First of all you have to face it because other side/wife is causing on or other problem to you, by wasting her time. You take it, and approach the higher court to interfere asking to stay the proceedings. I suggest its better to settle, out side the court. By mediation or arbitration etc

Hello, There are few points . *First if u want ur wife to stay with u , u can file for restitution of conjugal rights thereby the DV case becomes weak. *Since she has also filed DV case , she is looking for maintenance from you . You can appear before the court got the same * Also on the 498 A, you can contest the same
