Reading: My wedding took place on November 26th, 2015, in a traditional temple ceremony. Sadly, just five days later, my wife left with her parents, taking back all the jewelry and some cash while I was away. Now, she refuses to return, and her father is demanding 7 lakhs for maintenance to grant a divorce. I’ve learned she was previously divorced, and a similar incident occurred then, where she received 8 lakhs in maintenance through court. Her father is threatening me with a false 498A case and demanding money. I have proof of her past actions. What should I do?

You should immediately consult a lawyer specializing in family law. Your situation involves a complex combination of issues, including your wife’s prior divorce, alleged misrepresentation, and threats of false charges. A lawyer can advise you on legal options, including challenging the divorce demand, seeking return of your property, and addressing the threat of a false 498A case.
