In India, divorce proceedings can be initiated based on grounds like desertion or cruelty. Custody of the child would be decided by the court considering the child’s welfare and the parents’ capabilities. To protect against false accusations, you should consult a lawyer and gather evidence to support your claims.

My marriage ended tragically just two years ago. My wife left after only a fortnight, accusing my parents of demanding dowry, a claim completely untrue. Since then, she’s refused to return and, with her family, has been harassing and publicly insulting my parents and younger siblings, threatening to falsely accuse us of dowry-related crimes. They constantly cite the law as favoring women and threaten to arrest our entire family. I filed for divorce a few days ago. What steps can I take to protect my family from false accusations under Section 498A or any other charges they might plan? The entire family is deeply distressed by the situation.
