You should immediately document any communication related to dowry demands, including dates, times, and content. Consult a lawyer specializing in domestic violence and dowry harassment cases to advise on legal recourse and preventive measures, such as filing a pre-emptive complaint to the police.

My wife left home after a fight a few days ago. We filed a Section 9 case but she hasn’t appeared in court. I was called to the CAW cell today, and they accused me of many things, putting immense pressure to take her back. They even threatened jail. I can’t live with all these false accusations, so I told them I wouldn’t. If she wants to come back, she can do it through the court proceedings. However, the CAW cell is still pressurizing me.

My wife and I got married in May 2013. Despite living together for a few months, she often went back to her parents’ place for extended periods, even when we were newly married. She showed disrespect towards me and my family, even in front of guests. Unfortunately, she wasn’t interested in taking care of the household. In October 2013, she became pregnant, and after confirming the pregnancy through an ultrasound, she moved back to her parents’ home in February 2014. Despite our efforts to bring her back, we eventually had to file for divorce in May 2014. She gave birth to a baby girl in August 2014, which we found out through a maintenance case filed by her family. I had been taking care of her during the pregnancy, but they never informed me about her medical treatment or the birth of the child. What are my options now?
