The ‘braveheart’ Rohtak sisters fiasco has probably shown name of Haryana in such ‘limelight’ that the chief of women’s commission there has instructed Superintendents of Police to book case against all false complainants under IPC 182, to check the misuse of laws meant to protect women. No need to guess which which laws: IPC 354 (outraging modesty of a woman), IPC 376 (rape), and so on.

In order to prevent the misuse of Acts in the name of crime against women, the Haryana State Commission for Women (HSCW) has asked the SPs of all districts to book case against those girls/women whose complaints are found false during investigation.
Moreover, the girls/women will also have to face police action if they backtrack from their allegations levelled against the accused in their complaints.
Suman Dahiya, vice-chairperson of the women’s commission, said here today that though the women’s commission had been set up for the security of women, it is not against men . “Our work is to ensure justice to the sufferer. During investigation, we have found several false cases lodged by girls/women. The SPs have been asked to take action against such girls/women under section 182,CrPC , to check the misuse of law,” said Suman Dahia.
We are not sure what caused this change of heart, but probably a Change.org petition I had started to prosecute the two Rohtak sisters might have played a part too.
Read the post here about how for false rape cases, few court judgments have already ordered police to initiate prosecution against complainant under IPC 182. Now for the first time probably, a women’s commission chairperson has asked to stop misuse of such laws rather than encouraging women to come forward in filing complaints.

May 10, 2019 at 2:42 pmI hope she is genuinely stating and not part of an elaborate drama to convince you that the DV case is filed on behest of her family, but she is innocent etc. I have heard enough cases with all kinds of drama princesses and queens to not ignore this possibility, even though it may seem like a cruel take on this scenario which prima-facie seems worthy of sympathy.
Since you actually have documentary evidence of PCR report and audio recording, if you want to go the bold way, then your son should file RCR case to bring her back. She will have no reasonable way to answer about them. The said documents can help in DV case also, but the problem of interim maintenance is always to be dealt with, if she is not working and earning anything. But all this is a long duration process.
In my experience, the chance of someone like her coming back with husband are zero. At least I haven’t heard of any case where a woman once influenced by her parents decided to go against parents’ wishes and came back with husband to live in a happy marriage. My guess is that this is the other side of “respect towards one’s parents” where people are unable to let go of their hold to live an independent life. Also, many such females think that their parents have best interests in mind and will get them divorced and get them remarried. Many of them have come under influence of feminism/progressive left inspired media which encourages them to act irresponsibly and yet expect all great things in universe to fall into their lap! They will be in for a rude shock later when they realize that the re-marriage situation in India is totally different for a divorcee man vs a divorcee woman.
