Reading: After facing false accusations under Section 498A, I, along with my family, was acquitted in 2011. Despite this, my ex-wife keeps filing petitions, claiming I haven’t paid enough maintenance for our children. She has lodged 5 such false petitions since 2011, demanding a raise from 3,000 to 20,000 rupees. The court has dismissed all her claims. However, these constant legal battles are preventing me from moving forward with my life – I can’t travel abroad or pursue new job opportunities.

In India, filing frivolous or false petitions can be considered contempt of court. You can file a complaint against your ex-wife for this. Additionally, you can seek compensation for the damage caused by these petitions, including the limitations on your travel and job opportunities.
