My wife passed away eight months ago. Her family was present during her cremation rituals and seemed to accept the situation. However, they haven’t performed any post-death ceremonies. Now, after eight months, my father-in-law has filed a police complaint against me and my family, accusing us of dowry demands, mental harassment, and abetment to suicide (IPC 306, 498A, and 114). My marriage lasted for 10 years, and we have two children, a 10-year-old son and a 9-year-old daughter, who live with me. What should I do? Please advise me.

It’s crucial to consult a lawyer immediately to understand the specific charges and gather evidence to defend yourself. You need to prove that the accusations are false and show your wife’s family accepted her death. Evidence like previous communication, witness statements, and the absence of dowry demands can help strengthen your case.
