An FIR has been registered by suburban Kandivali police against a woman today for allegedly cheating, trying to extort money, reneging on her divorce agreement as well as threatening to file a false dowry case against her husband. Case has been registered against two of the woman’s close relatives also.
According to the case which was filed on April 9, the police has charged the accused persons under Section 385 (extortion), Section 420 (cheating) and Section 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.
Don’t we always say that all this 498A extortion business is always a ‘team operation’. Even in above case, it’s not just the woman who is accused, two of her relatives also seem to be part of the ‘deal’ to get some enrichment from the benefits of marriage divorce.
The complainant who is an engineer by profession was married on May 2013 but developed an estranged relationship with his wife merely four months after the tying the knot.
Since it is mandatory to complete at least an year of marriage to file divorce papers, the complainant and his wife reached a “mutual understanding”.
“In December 2013, I and my wife, signed papers in the presence of eye witnesses, to file for divorce in due course of time. I immediately transferred an alimony amount of Rs 2 lakh to her account, as per our mutual understanding,” the complainant said.“However, after an year, when I requested her to come and sign divorce papers, she rejected my calls and messages. After this, I sent her a legal notice, she demanded another Rs 10 lakh, failing which she said, she would file a false dowry complaint against me,” the complainant said.
With all due sympathies to the man who got trapped in wife’s schemes, let this be a warning to any man who thinks that wife’s offer to get a mutual divorce is a genuine offer! As the complainant says: “I immediately transferred an alimony of RS 2 lakh to her account…”. Stop falling for these ‘sweet deals’ offered by your yesterday-newly-married-today-newly-estranged-wife. Wife says she’s ok to give ‘mutual’ divorce upon 2 lakhs payment, and husband readily agrees thinking 2 lakh may not be a bad deal after all to get rid of an estranged wife! These ‘offers’ are nothing but a test, the real ‘deal’ will be announced later, as this woman did too, but unfortunately for her the tables got turned.
“With no other option left, I approached the Vaastav Foundation which works for men in distress. They guided and helped me a lot to come out of this mental agony,” he said.
Vaastav Foundation’s founder-member Amit Deshpande said, “This case is an example of how women misuse overprotective laws. Crime and greed have no gender. Hence, in such cases, punishment too ought to be equal”.
RESPECT to the MRAs!
Can I get some citations of this case as my wife is also doing exactly same and i am looking to file a private complaint against her. I have prepared the compliant regarding the same, but I need some citations in my compliant for judge to help make jusge a decision. we had already done with First motion and for second motion i made mistake by transferring her money as RTGS before second motion for the FD of daughter as per agreement, which now she is saying is for jewellery which has never been part of agreement. as it was a full and final settlement. whcih i paid already and now asking more otherwise wont come for second motion.
It is a case of contempt of court and playing fraud on court, not extortion.
Girl having similar cancer injury n were arrange marriage done without informed this by cheating got medical proof also 6months over I didn’t live with her a day complete. If I go for divorce need to give any maintenance or marriage money to her??? Plz put comments
You have to file for annulment before 1 year of marriage, after which only divorce filing. Marriage expenses not returnable as per law, but alimony sometimes given even if marriage by fraud. Read this book for more details if interested because we don’t give guidance on divorce etc:
Alimony and Maintenance under Hindu Law (only in Kindle Edition)
This lawyer (–deleted—) is alimony extortion lawyer, threatening my family for Rs. 2500000.00 of money, for an unconsummated marriage in what even sexual intercourse didn’t happen with that girl and never stayed even a single day independently anywhere with that girl.
OP Lawyer doesn’t know whether your marriage was consummated or you had plenty of sex. He/she will go by what the client says. Better fight it out in court than blaming lawyer.
Sir I am from Delhi, my younger brother got married on 17th Feb 2016, on 18th and 19th she was home, on 20th we moved to Port Blair, on 23rd Feb she was at her parent home,
She complaint about the dowry, cruelty and not giving food. Which are false .
Can I file a case against that girl about false dowry case and cruelty , we have enough proof that we have not asked dowry and not cruelty . How much year prison she and her parents got if I proved that complain is false and she misused the Law.
>>we have enough proof that we have not asked dowry and not cruelty
That will be enough for acquittal, not for proving false case
You can file case of extortion IF you have proof that they demanded that you pay money to them otherwise they will file case on you
Dear sir
I am also facing the same problem that my in-laws are threating us for false dowry case and DV case but we didn’t demand any thing and bear all marriage expenses but now they people are demanding for money can we take any legal action against them because their all complaints are false
Hello ALL,

2. My brother was also harresing by his wife and her other family members as she has put conditon that she will not be back and will not live with him untill half of property would not be on his name.
3. My brother filed sec – 9 against his wife on 1-Sep-2015 and our lawyer sent mulitple notices, But My brother’s wife was still making pressure on my father(becuase he is very gentle and senior citizen) by sending so called relatives but actual gundas and making noice outside my parents home and after that my father got other threatning calles so my father drop an application on 27 Aug in near police station and SP office informing that he has seprated his son and daughter in law becaue they were demanding property and trying to threat us by 498a and other charges. it’s investigation took place and our complaint had been registered .
4. My parents are senior citizen and due to threating envoirnement, he decieded to leave our newly constructed home and start living in village, now when my so Called babhi and her gundas got only Lock on our home they started threating of filing FIR. and finally on 25 – Nov – 2015 they filed FIR against all our family including me and my wife with the address of my brother on which we have seprated him, but we never lived in that home so we did not get any informaiton about FIR and one date has been passed .
False in FIR : 1. My brother demanded Bike while he has no lisence at the age of 38 and he has been patient of epilepsy 8 yrs back(but no fit since 8 yrs) and take medicions up to now. We had informed to bride side about this before marriag, yet bride side shown intrest in marriage.
2. In FIR She has shown her mothers wrong death date and reason.
3. Address where My parents, Me and my wife never lived is registered.

Charges : 498 a 3/4 , 323, 504,506
Now FIR is in Mediation court and our lawyer is suggesting that he will try to cancel this FIR from HC.
My Father Spent 4.5 Lack on my brothers marriage because My brother’s inlaw were showing that they are very poor and can’t spent money. Even before dowery we were ready to pay as per her need but there intentions are to sock our money life long by Black mailing .

People asking for judgments are plenty, and those pointing to or providing useful judgments are very, very few.
Some are almost asking me to do google search the judgments for them. Not gonna happen!
Dear Friend,
I surprised that the same issue I am facing by my wife and her relatives included her parents. Here I am in Delhi and my senior citizen parents facing lots of threatening by my wife and relatives. Even they have in very trouble. No one have to cook food, if some time my sister want to help then immediately her relative threatening my sister’s home. I am very in trouble. I cannot help my parents and sister too. Because I am facing loan deposit in every months to bank. So I unable to left my job. And If I live with my parents in Delhi. She stopped cook food. My mother in laws is very non sense and enforce to take action by her daughter.
Request you to please suggest what to do.
Thank you so much….
These are complicated issues, so suggest to join groups to learn more by connecting with others… because “what to do” is not exactly a foolproof tip, and these can’t be discussed over comments.
Dear Friends,
Today, I met one of my close friend who is working as in a central university in India. He discussed his story:
He was married in July-2015, and when he has not taken any dowry related thing from Girls parent. Since last 2 months wife’s brother in law (JiJa) and his wife threaten him and some time also her jija slaped him when last month he visited his sasural. She is demanding to write your property in my name and told to transfer whole salary every month when it comes. She also put FIR 3-4 times, when he came from office in the evening, she dialed 100 and told police. He is demanding for dowry. 2 times his neighbors and landlord told the reality to Police. But Wife’s Jija forces his wife to do all such unlawfull activities. He is very simple and genuine person. He has his 80+ year old mother, one brother and brother’s wife with 2 kind below 5 year. My friend is living in Haryana and his family lived in kanpur. My friend belong to vry below middle class family. After getting MCA, M.TECH. and PhD in computer science last year he started his career. But after 2 month of marriage, he is continuously tortured, and disturbed too much these days.
Many times her wife and jija told him, she would file a false dowry complaint against him.
What he will do, please suggest. Please do some thing and give right directions for saving his life.
Please mail me right suggestions.
Thank you.
He can join our facebook group to discuss. One has to face the possibility of cases, whether it’s jija or whoever else is the ‘leader’… there are no options to escape
vaibhav give facebook link pls…

Good article

Arrest of wife and his relatives in the above mentioned case is the turning point and must be followed by all state police.
