Dear Client,
In the present scenario, you can file an informatory petition in the respective District Court. Since at present the opposite party has not taken any action, so, filing an informatory petition is enough.

Dear Sir,
misuse of Section 498A, If a false complaint is registered against you by your wife, you can do either to defend your case and wait for the judgement or to file a counter case against your wife and prove her wrong. You have following options to defend your family and yourself-
1. Collect as many pieces of evidence as possible. Section 498A has a very wide jurisdiction under which the women can complain against anyone in the family.
2.Once the FIR is lodged, the man can apply for anticipatory bail or notice bail so as to ensure that the innocent family members are not going behind bars without any just cause.
3.How the case turns out would totally depend on which state the case is lodged. Different states have different mechanisms to deal with the problems of false cases. In Bihar the situation is very bad, people are arrested without verification, and also getting Anticipatory Bail is very difficult. 4.Lodge a complaint to your nearest police station, detailing about blackmailing, her false allegations, and her unbearable behaviour.
5. Police don’t easily write down the complaints of men. Also, how the complaint is drafted is critical. This is why consulting a lawyer with experience in such matters before approaching the police is a good idea. 6. If you have to compromise, do it without paying any money. By paying her money you will indirectly accept the blackmailing and guilt 7. Also get them to file A court statement that they will not challenge this order in higher courts and that they will take back all the cases filed against you and all your relatives in all the courts. They should get the final instalment of money after all cases and proceedings are withdrawn and closed.

As per law of the land dowry is prohibited. Therefore, don't take or demand dowry. Otherwise if it has been proved through document or evidence, then you will have to face problem. It is better to execute an agreement between parties to the effect that in the marriage no dowry is being taken or given.
