In India, the legal age for marriage for a girl is 18 years. If she is being pressured to marry before she is ready, she can seek support from family members, friends, or a trusted counsellor. If the pressure becomes coercive or abusive, she can report it to the police or a women’s rights organization.

I filed for divorce in January and my wife filed a 498A case against me, my brother, father, and mother in March. This January, she also filed a Domestic Violence case (DVC), adding my sister’s name to the list of accused. My concern is about the DVC case – I plan to only contest it and make all family members ex-parte. Will this cause any issues in the future? Does being ex-parte imply we agree with my wife’s allegations? If her claims are proven false at trial, will the ex-parte judgment affect my family members? What are the potential consequences for my family if my wife wins the DVC case? I need your advice on whether this strategy is wise or not.
