My wife left our home in 2014 and filed cases against me and my family in my hometown. The police filed charges, but there’s been no hearing yet, and we’re on bail. Now, two years later, we got a letter from the women’s police station in my wife’s hometown saying she filed another complaint. Should I go there to explain our side? Can she file a new case even though we haven’t been in touch? I’m hesitant to travel to her hometown.

Under Indian law, your wife can file a new complaint even if you haven’t been in touch. You are not obligated to travel to her hometown. However, it’s advisable to consult with a lawyer to understand the implications of the new complaint and to discuss potential legal strategies.
