My brother endured emotional abuse from his wife for two years. Unable to bear it anymore, he filed for divorce and sent her a notice. Now, she’s filed a false dowry case, dragging my parents, my uncle’s family, and me into it despite never receiving any dowry. The police registered an FIR, and she even sent a copy to my brother’s company, resulting in his job loss. We’ve secured anticipatory bail and are awaiting court hearings.
1. Can my brother return to work overseas during this legal battle?
2. Why are innocent people like me, my parents, and my uncle’s family caught in this web? I’m in IT and worried this FIR might affect my career prospects, especially if I change jobs or seek opportunities abroad.
3. Is there any way to remove my parents and my uncle’s family from this false case?
4. How long will it take to resolve this dowry case?

Your brother can likely return to work overseas, as the anticipatory bail allows him to travel freely. False dowry cases are a tactic to harass and pressure the husband and his family, and there is no legal basis to include innocent individuals. It’s possible to apply to the court to have your parents and uncle’s family removed from the case through legal arguments, but it may be a lengthy process. The duration of the dowry case is unpredictable and depends on the court’s caseload and proceedings.
