Joy Upadhyay - Kolkata

Name: Joy Upadhyay
Comments: Hi Everybody,

This is really a great site to help 498a victims.

I am an IT Engineer working with a reputed MNC. Married with my wife on 2006. My wife left me while I was in USA - Dec 11th,2007. I came here on 29 Jan 2008. she never came back and staying with her parents. We repeatedly requested her to come back but no luck. She and her family giving us some baseless blame and threatening for FIR. Right now she is negotiating alimony with me. For me a single hour of custody will spoil my career and most importantly I don’t think my parents can take such pressure.

Please advise if there is any preventative measure can be taken.

Thanks,
Joy.

Mahesh - chandigarh

Name: Mahesh
Comments: I have recently got married on 20th April 2008. This was a arranged marriage..Everything went on well untill the marriage. I have very clearly started that "no dowery or any other demands" I am happy with every i earn. All of sudden after week we started arguing on every simple thing. My wife used to take every thing in negative way and we would end up fighting. This ways thing started becoming worse. Sexual life was never a problem. She was really satisfied.
she also had birth control pills 3 times and did not want to have a kid so early. Even i agreed with her. One day when we had argument on some simple reason. She wanted to go back home. I had dropped her back home. After which she never truned up and now the in laws through a blame to produce a medical certificate and she completely dines to the fact that she had brith pills. This drama has become really frustrating and is distrubing both me and my family. Please advise me the way out. I do have problem to produce medical certificate...but i am worried and scared that today they have asked for medical document tomorrow some simple issue they could even lodge a complaint against me and my family for dowary / physical / mental harrassment. Please advise me the way out before things get worse.

Sunil Pattnaik - Hyderabad

Name: Sunil Pattnaik
Comments: Sub:-Threatening for use of 498a-or threatening to kill

Sir/Madam,

I am, Sunil Pattnaik, studying CA, married to S.Madhurima .She is a Chartered Accountant. We got married(love marriage) in 11th May 07(secretly in a temple in Chennai). After that our families approved in Aug 31st 07. After marriage she came to Hyderabad and got a job in Karvy HO.I used to come Hyderabad and after Oct I came here to stay permanently. In Dec we came to know that she is pregnant .So she went to her home town,Tirupati. During her check up on 3rd Jan 08 she came to know that she is HIV+. She informed me via phone so on the next day I came to know that I am also suffering from HIV+. Then on 12th Jan she had done abortion in Tirupati.
For abortion her uncle who is a lawyer in Tirupati told me to send an undertaking regarding hiv+ and abortion. I had done the same. On 15th Jan 08 she came to Hyderabad, not our home, and living separately. While going to her home, in Tirupati, she took all her belongings and even marriage photographs.

From 15th Jan 08 onwards she is putting following allegations and threateningâ€"

EITHER

1-She will use dowry harassment case against me and my family stating that we have taken from her 10 lacs rupees.
But it is a love marriage and we don’t have taken any gift or money from her.

2-She will file another case stating that I and my family have known the fact of HIV+. We knowingly, only for money, get the marriage done. Regarding evidence she has some blood reports which she has (she has a lot of gynic problems) so she will file a cheating case...

I don’t have any blood reports. Only I had done a blood donation in 30th June 07 for Rotary Club and ICAI in Chennai. Till now I am very healthy person.

3-She will kill my brother and brother in law. So she is sending threatening messages to all of us.

4-She is coming to our apartments and shouting that “Sunil is HIV patient”. So that she can defame to our families. Now she has informed some of our friends. It is only to make us isolated.

5-She is giving threatening calls to my parents who are very old persons. Their health condition is also not good. The reason is that we should face some financial difficulty.

OR
1-I have to agree, in writing, that ---I have HIV long before and knowingly I have cheated her.

2-I have to stay separately from my near and dear. My brother or father has to give 10000/- to 15000/- per month
But my father is retired government employee and he can’t pay money. My brother is the sole earner of our family. He can’t afford that much amount.

3-She is earning nearly 30000/- which she will give to her mother. All expenses (of staying separate) have to borne by my brother.


Family background:-

Her father, uncle and aunty are in police department. Her maternal uncles (2) are Lawyers.
We are new to Hyderabad because recently my brother got the job and so our parents came to Hyderabad to stay .I am studying in Chennai. All our family expenses are borne by my brother. My sister is married and she is a school teacher. My brother in law is working in a software company. My nephew is 5yrs old.
So we are afraid to lodge a police complaint also. We have consulted with a lawyer. He is telling us to wait for some time and then he will send some notice to them. But for all of us everyday are a horror and every moment is a terrified moment.


My Address:-
202,Sambhavi Residency
Opp to More,Moti Nagar
Hyderabad-500018
Ph:-09392706668
09966401120

Now I came to know that she has some extramarital relationships with three guys whom I know. But she is telling me to show some strong evidence like in bed with some bad postures, than only she will give divorce in mutual concern. Or else stay with her and accept all her relationships.

We are helpless and we are not able to do anything.
Please HELP US.

Comments: consequent upon disobeying my wife's & inlaws' demand of staying at their place by me, my wife at the direction of her father filed a completely false case under 498 A on 02 nd april 2007.My old parents and my brother alongwith myself had to stay in jails.The police flouting various norms with great zeal arrested all of us. And it is very surprising that none of us got bail on a completely false case supported by without any concrete evidence or medical report of injury.The case was filed by them in Kharagpur Town Police Station on 2/4/2007.Now we are living with a great mental shock and a sense of humiliation with various bindings.How the legal system considers women as angels?We are the victim of unethical gender-biased IPC 498A.We need help to tide over this difficult situation. I wonder that being tortured by my wife and her parents I sought help from various government authorities but in vain.None of the authorities did pay a slightest heed to my requests.But my wife being intelligent and shrewed got us arrested by the Police by placing a single petition though written by her father.

Comments: My wife is living separately with children since past three years at a distance of 2000km. Despite my efforts, she is not returning to me with children. Sometimes she is also not allowing me to talk to my children. I am thinking of filing a restitution of conjugal rights petition. But I am afraid that she will put up a DV or 498A case against me in retaliation. I have also heard that a woman can't file 498A after 7 years of marriage. Is it true? What should I do to get back my children

Sabapathy - Pondicherry

Name: Sabapathy
Comments: Dear Sir / Madam

With reference to you website, I have a personal issue, which is interesting and challenge to your consideration. I, M. Rathinasabapathy (40 years) got married to R. Rajeswari (29 years) daughter of Mr. S. Rajagopal and Mrs. R. Syamala, of Howrah present residing at No. 42/1, Kailash Bose Lane, Howrah - 711 101, and the marriage was solemnized at Pondicherry on June 04, 2003 at Mahalakshmi Thirumana Mandapam, Chinnakkadai, Pondicherry. After a couple of months spending at Pondicherry, I got a job at M/s. Macmillan India Ltd, Bangalore and we shifted to Bangalore on December 05, 2003 and we lived peacefully and happily and she too worked in a couple of private firms. After she got conceived she lived with me for 2½ months and she went to Howrah on July 26, 2004 as per her father’s advice. She lived for about 7 months at Howrah. She came back to Pondicherry for about 3 days for her “Valaikappu function” on November 18, 2004 and she came to Bangalore with her parents, and all of them started using vulgar words and threatened me to acquire all the properties / wealth.

As Mr. S. Rajagopal and his family are involved in politics and by this influences they are sending some unknown persons to my residence and torturing me and my parents frequently in order to acquire our properties and money. On February 15, 2005, God blessed me with a male child. As I got a new job at M/s. Accenture India BPO, Bangalore, I am not able to get leave, for at least single day and my father Mr. S. Mahalingam (66 years) and my mother Mrs. M. Dhanalakshmi (65 years) who was operated in the right eye on February 21, 2005 and also in the left breast for cancer on December 08, 2005 and lying in bed and counting her days and family are only depended on the pension of my father, who served in Pondicherry Govt. for nearly 42 years (41 years and 8 months) in various capacities. During his entire service he did not get any black mark in his service records. And he lives in Pondicherry at the same below address for the past 65 years and I am living for the past 38 years in the same residence and this is the reason we are not able to go to Howrah, to see my wife and child. After several phone calls and letters, my wife came to Pondicherry from Howrah on September 12, 2005 with my child Mr. R. Lokesh (4 years) and her parents. After many advices to her, she left to Madurai on September 20, 2005 after 9 days of stay at Pondicherry and not to Bangalore even without showing, neither my child to me nor any photos, since his birth. I came to Pondicherry for Diwali on October 20, 2005 on 10 days leave to see her but she left to Madurai on October 16, 2005 once again without informing me, nor to my parents with her uncle Mr. Duraipandi and grandfather Mr. Pichaimani. On November 18, 2005 she came back to Pondicherry from Madurai and once for all she left on the same day, without any intimation or even informing me. She has taken all her belongings, along with my jewels, without telling anybody in our house.

After 3 months gap, I have received several summon in an frequent intervals which is filed under section 125 Cr. P.C., 125(3) Cr. P.C. 498A, 406IPC, 34, 354, 379, 506, 323, 341, 504 and section 3 & 4 of Dowry Probation Act etc. against me, my patents, brother and sister from the Court of 7th and 4th Judicial Magistrate at Howrah. As there is no leave on training period, I am not about to go to Howrah , for the first hearing on February 21, 2006, which is represented by my father and relatives. After completing my second hearing on March 20, 2006, I had been caught by the police and kept for 9 days i.e. March 20, 2006 to March 28, 2006 in police lockup and 1 day in Correctional Home, Howrah and released on March 29, 2006. For third hearing my father, my brother (Mr. M. Sivasubramaniam (37 years) is working in a private firm and sharing the family burden) and my sister (Miss. M. Sarojini (36 years) is innocent and helping her mother) who came out on bail on April 18, 2006. Both my brother and sister are unmarried.

Due to this court proceedings only, and due to my wife harassment I had to resign my good job at M/s. Accenture India BPO, Bangalore on April 29, 2006, and I am now jobless. Further till date without any fail we are attending all the hearing. I am very afraid of my father-in-law Mr. S. Rajagopal, mother-in-law Mrs. R. Syamala, wife Mrs. R. Rajeswari, cousin Mr. R. Prabhakar @ Dubbu and relatives Mr. R. Kumar, who are fully responsible for my life. I fear they may assault me through some persons, in order to swindle our hard-earned income and property. As Mrs. R. Rajeswari does not want to live with me, she gave false and fabricated reasons in the case records and arranged for arrest/remand against me under various criminal sections and she got exparte divorce on Apr 2007.

Further Pondicherry to Howrah, up and down is nearly 4000 Kms and we do not know local language Bengali. So, please accept this complaint and in the circumstance stated above it is prayed that your Honour may kindly pass necessary order for realisation and kindly arrange for proper counselling in order to have my wife and child back and still feel that if proper counselling is given I would mend her ways and there is all possibility to live with my wife without the interference from any body from either of the families of mine and her side. I am ready to live with her.

I, the petitioner, do hereby declare that the foregoing paragraphs are true to my knowledge and belief and I sign this verification this the 07 day of January 2008.

I request your goodself to look into this matter as soon as possible. Thanking you,

Kindly confirm the safe receipt of this email. I will be back to you if any queries or concern in mean time

Thanks,

Kannan Ramakrishnan - Vancouver

Name: Kannan Ramakrishnan
Comments: I came to Canada 3 years back. I sponsored my wife aand son. But my father in law died at the time of application for canadian Immigration. My mother in law could not live with her daughter in laws. My mother in law was not happy with her husband. She did not treat my father in laws heart attack. She took money from her sons to build a house.She says women are powerful after her husbands death. My wife lost in Amway in India and the amway ladies also poisoned her.

Now my wife has left me for the last 3 years. She did not like my father who is blind.

I have not seen my son for the last 3 yaers.

My wife says that if I come to India she can sue me.

So I feel it is safer if my son comes to Canada for a short visit. That is my first priority.

I did not take any dowry. I sent money for the flight tickets. But they used it for their expenses.

I am Chartered Accountant from India (Secured 50 th all India Rank).I also passed my C.P.A. in U.S.

Now i do not have the money to fight.

I want to see my son atlaest for a month in Canada.

My mother in law wants my father to go an old age home and have my house in India.

My son is against divorce. I do not plan to remarry.

My wife has never left me till my father in law was alive.

Is it possible for me to see my son. He says that his passport was not renewed and they are not allowing him to come.

I have applied for my Canadian Citizenship

sumit - orissa

Name: sumit
Comments: My brother got married in april-07. After few months of marriage he started living separately from my old age parents. Father is a retired headmaster and me living abroad. Sister lives in hyderabad. My brother and his wife had some quarell in their house. A week later my parents came to know about the incidence when a case with 498A filed against my parents,me, my brother and sister. Parents were heart broken as if the whole world has collapsed infront of them. We all had to run around to avoid arrests. A bail has been granted to all of us except my brother by the highcourt.In negotiation the girls family is asking for a huge sum of money which the whole family put together cant earn in 10 years. Now my parents anxiety and mental trauma is causing unbearable pain to me. I also am going through all that but seeing my parents state is unberable. What should i do to take action against the abuse by the girl? what should i do to bring back the reputation of my father?

Anuj - Chennai

Name: Anuj
Comments: Hi All,

I got married on 2003 and it was a love marriage. My wife has lost her parents when she was 3 yrs old and then one leady has adopted her. Upto jan 08 we were living happly with our 1 yr son. Some time we used to fight which is a common thing in all families. As she was from a poor family i managed all the marriage expenses for both the side.Earlier she was working and after her delivery she is not working. One fine day when i was in office she left me alone and went to that same leady ( Who has addopted her ). Initially they did not all me or my family members to talk to her but after 7 days we have got a surprise that she is saying i have started asking for dowry and beating here every day which is not true. I thought may be she is very angry thats why they are saying all these things.Then after 1 month i have tried and almost she was talking to me nicely. Inbetween i was also helping financialy. Once i have planned to visit to her native and wanted to talk to her face to face and next day i have informed her about this but she has confirmed that she donot want to live with me further and even she donot want my financial help also. Even she said donot call again and no one will pickup my call from her family and she will not give me devorce also and she will make me suffer for my whole life. Even if i will go to her native she will not allow me to meet my son.

I am fine if she is not intrested to stay with me but my need my son at any cost because that family will smash his future. They donot have any thing, only hand to mouth. My son has got a serious head injury and he was admited at hospital on the month of Jan'08. He need regular treatment and they are not allowing me to do that. They are saying they donot need my support anywhere.

Pls suggest what should i do ?

madhup roy - kolkata

Name: madhup roy
Comments: my wife is the only daughter.the marriage was done in the special marriage act inspite of us both being hindus. without our consent, My family has migrated from germany and we were not aware of this law. on the night after the marriage my wife abused my parents and threw away the diamond jewelery we gave her.we felt this behavior to be normal as she was the only daughter and has left home.After that she left my house and used to come only accompanied by her mother.I being a marine engineer have to stay away for 6 month.during this period she never used to stay in my house.Soon her mother used to pressurise me in buying a flat in her daughters name.Which I told them i will do later if situation arises.then after a year we had a baby girl. normally during pregnancy my wife was staying in her house as my parents are very old.From the very next day of the marriage my wife started demanding 40,000 rs a month. which I felt strange as she is from a lower middle class family. I used to give her 10,000 as pocket money.last year we had all gone to UK for a visit. since my brother was there I sent them back with him after a month. on returning to india..her mother constantly asked me to send more money to her daughter which I told them that my expenses in UK are too high and that I would continue with the 10,000.After that my wife started sending threating letters to my mother addressed to me although she knows that I am in UK.after I returned from uk I went to my wifes house to visit my daughter.my father in law abused me and forced me out of the house.She threatened us with 498 if we donot pay her demands of 60,000 a month and a flat in her name. We consulted a lawyer and he suggested that we file for a restitution of congugal rights. after we have filed for it she filed for a devorce bringing out several false allegation against my mother and brother ( which includes dowry harrasment,and sexual abuse against my brother).I have tried to speak to them but in vain. what will happen to my daughter? will I loose her.. can I file for custody rights? please help

gyanendu jaipuriar - hazaribagh, jharkhand

Name: gyanendu jaipuriar
Comments: I was married to a girl of gaya. but due to hepertension, she underwent aborption twice. later after consult of doctors, she delivered a baby boy on 14.01.2005. These doctors confirmed that her right kidney was very small, which was the actual problem. After few months of this delivery, bleeding started from her nose. We took her to Patna to a well known nehprologist, who confirmed that her both kidneys got damaged due to high Blood pressure. we took her to big hospitals of the country but all said that only transplantation was solution of this disease. Father agreed and our relationship was very good till february of this year. But suddenly father brought a brahim youth and presented this man as his cousin in front of a medical board of bihar government and obtained NOC. he asked us to register this youth in a Patna based hospital but we refused and said that we will help when own relatives will donate kidney. this infuriated him and he demanded Rs.10lakh otherwise threatened us of dire consequences. Now we are in trouble as my father had sepent more than Rs.7 lakh which was his retirement money. we are innocent but court only hear to the woman, who registers complaint under 498A. where we should go. i want to kn ow as whether we will get justice or not. who will protect us. we had first lodged a complaint case against my wife's family in CJM court and later in family court. now the other party is tarnsihing our image by publishing false stories in media and a story was also aired on a channel. we are a reputed family of Hazaribagh and this act of them had tarnished our image. we had no other option but to fight. But if we will not get jusitice than we will definitelt take some other step.

Raghvendra - Gwalior

Name: Raghvendra
Comments: Actually, My bhabhi(My elder brother's wife) is playing with my parents and coercing them to pay her money and mostly money is in thousands, which my retired Father is not able to pay. And she always threatened him for the money otherwise she threated she will filed anti dowry case against whole family. My father capitulate as he is weak, never want mine and my younger brother career get spoiled because of this. And recently she has tried everything to file a case against my family but she got mediated because of seniors in my family. Even i have given her money many time. But now she doesn't acknowledge that. Truly speaking even me and my father has no proof for the same as we never thought situation like this would come.
I just need advice how shall i collect evidence against her so that i can show to police, if something like 498 happened/filed.
Me and my father are supporting her with money. She is stating in my parent's house and on daily basis she is threatening for money.
Or what precautionary step i should take to prevent my family in case 498 happened. Because that i know is inevitable. But i want to document and collect as much as possible so as to convince police or court.

Thanks in Advance

I don't want anyone to get harrased and over burdened running arround the court. I am confident that i can prove the case against me as false and so i will attend the hearings contineously. I don't want my cousins and brothers get disturbed with this, they needs to travel to US on business trips. So what excuse i can get legally to avoid others attending for hearings.....please suggest.

Y P Singh - Lucknow -UP

Name: Y P Singh
Comments: My wife waas very-very good women. But after two miscarriage, with every precausion and treatments she delivered a pre-term baby who died after 8 days. She could not bear the death of our baby and committed suicide.
Her father has files a totally false complain of Dowry Death inspite of knowing every fact just to extort the money. He has accepted that in the court also, his statement in the court are:
"THE RELATIONS BETWEEN ME AND OUR FAMILY WITH THE MY SON-IN LAW AND HIS FAMILY WERE VERY GOOD AND CORDIAL. AND DUE TO THIS GOOD RELATIONSHIP MEMBERS OF BOTH FAMILIES WERE TAKING CARE OF S******* AND HER BABY. IT WAS MISFORTUNATE THAT, EVENAFTER SO MUCH EFFOERTS BY THE BOTH FAMILIES THE BABY COULD NOT SURVIVE. THE SHOCK OF BABY'S DEATH WAS HEAVIEST TO THE S*******"

At another satge he said that:
"BY HOOK OR CROOK HE WANTED BACK HIS HOUSE AND HOUSE HOLD ITEMS"
For the house he said:
"THE HOUSE WAS GIVEN OUT OF LOVE AND AFFTECTION FOR THE LIVING"

And many more such statements, but inspite of showing sympathy and support at the worst time of my life (sad demise of baby and loving wife) I am facing the trail of my wife's dowry death.

I hate such system and determined to throw away from our society. No other family should face this situation any more.

Comments: Wife filed a divorce case on false grounds in 2005 under indian marriage Act but she withdrew her case after compromise in 2006 and started living with the husband. She wants to seek divorce (Talak)by hook or crook and in the last year she tried to coerce her husband to take Talak but the husband doesnot want to give Talak and wants to live with his family which is frivously opposed by the inlaws of husband and they want to get the Talak anyhow which is unacceptable to the husband.When the wife could not get divorce through court first time and compromised, she again tried by force while living with the husband and still when she could not get Talak, she again filed a false case against the husband under domestic violence Act.The report of DPO clearly proves the husband innocent and now the wife on the behest of her relatives has filed once again divorce case in the family court ofcourse with no proper evidence of cruelty against the husband.AFTER WITHDRAWING THE FIRST DIVORCE CASE POST COMPROMISE IS THE SECOND DIVORCE CASE MAINTAINABLE IN THE FAMILY COURT? IF YES/NO THEN PLEASE STATE THE CLEAR CUT RULINGS AND LAWS PERTAINING TO THE ABOVE QUESTION.HOWEVER THE MARRIAGE BEING AS PER ISLAM THE HUSBAND HAS VOWED NEVER TO GIVE TALAK TO HIS WIFE AND WANTS TO MAINTAIN HER WHILE THE WIFE IN A HABIT OF LIVING INDEPENDENT LIFE WANTS TO FORCE DIVORCE EITHER BY COURT OR BY HOOK?WHAT SHOULD THE POOR HUSBAND DO IN THIS CASE?.CAN THE DELIBERATE DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS FILED BY THE WIFE THE SECOND TIME BE STAYED BY THE HONOURABLE HIGH COURT SINCE THE WIFE HAS ALREADY WITHDRAWN THE FIRST PETITION AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME? KINDLY HELP THE AGGRIEVED HUSBAND WHO IS BEING MISUSED BY SUCH FALSE CASES AND WANTS TO MAINTAIN HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER.

Comments: hi
i am a thai citizen of indian origin, all my family members are thai, except my father.
ours was a HINDU CEREMONEY but ""REGISTERED ONLY IN THAI EMBASSY, WHICH IS NOT INDIAN TERRITORY OR UNDER INDIAN LAW" (did not register it with any indian registrar)
i got married in 2006 to an indian girl and 15 days after marriage i came back to thailand and both of us started having regular arguements over the phone, (as she was still there waiting for visa proceedings).
then she joined me a month later, and kept on demanding all kinds of things, including cash, house car, otherwise she would sue me under dowry case, at that time even her parents realised her mistake and asked me to send her back, i agreed reluctantly.
our arguements and fights kept going on periodically over the phone, all the while, i was here in thailand.
i told them i cannot be left in the middle of nowhere. now they all have ganged up and are asking for money or else they would sue me and my family under 498a.

my questions are:
a) being a foreigner (and only father is an indian) can we be prosecuted under this law.
b) since we have not even registered the marriage in india, (though cermony took place there) will this case still hold any legality.
c) even if i cannot be prosecuted, due to exception of any law being a foreigner, can my father still be prosecuted under any accusation.
d)my wife has not seen me or my family members for almost 2 years,

please advise

thanks

MANAS KUMAR NATH - ASSAM

Name: MANAS KUMAR NATH
Comments: Dear Sir/Madam

My father (now 74 years) , mother (now 67 years) & brother (now 40 years) are the sufferer of clause IPC 498a. The wife of my brother committed suicide on 4th March 2003 by consuming Phenyl. They got married on 15th Nov. 1997. They have one child (boy now aged 10years). Her suicide got confirmed subsequently by the forensic reports.

After her unfortunate death, her father filed FIR saying the torture on her for dowry and filed FIR under 498a.

My brother got suspended from the Govt. Job (put in jail for mandatory 2 months) . My father & mother some how could get bail from court.

The proceedings of the case shall start on 25th June 2008.

Background :

The FIR was falsely slapped upon us as we have not insisted/asked for any dowry and there were no injuries or any other form of torture soon before her death or at any time during the entire period of 5 years of marriage life.

She might have committed suicide out of depression. She tried the same once earlier also but we could took her to hospital and she survived on that occasion. Unfortunately, the prescription of the treatment of that incidence got misplaced from our file and we are not able to get the prescription of that treatment of the earlier suicide attempt.

We have not taken any dowry from the deceased’s family (wife’s family) at any point of . Rather after her death , her father has taken all the little gold ornaments that she was having. We have taken the receipt from her father at the time of returning her ornaments……..

After that incidence our family condition got totally shattered and all of us are living in a very traumatized condition…..

Police has submitted charge sheet against Husband , Father & Mother.

NOW I want to know,

1. Whether court will charge sheet more persons . I WANT TO CLARIFY THAT NO OTHER PERSON WAS PRESNT DURING THE TIME OF INCIDENCE AT OUR HOUSE…

2. HOW TO GET SOLUTION SO THAT NO BODY IS CONVICTED????

PL. REPLY
Elder brother.

Jiger Patel - Mumbai,Maharashtra

Name: Jiger Patel
Comments: 22nd March 2007: We met online via jeevansathi.com. She is from Ahmedabad and I am in Mumbai. She had sent me an Interest for my profile and that is how things started. After some chatting, we decided for meeting and she came down with her parents for meeting, having a look at my place etc. But I refused for go further since I did not find her upto my likings. But she pleaded and agreed to learn household work(since she was working then and out of practise), slim down(since she was fatty), she also told that is will live as I say and not harrase me in anyway, leave her job and be a nice housewife.
Looking at her promises and her parents who then appeared to be nice people. I said ok for the marriage. Both families agreed that the marriage be carried out in Mumbai since it was not possible for us to come to ahmedabad. Our date for marriage was 3rd dec. 2007. Between 22 Mar and 3 rd dec, there were several occasions of mis-understandings and quarrel between me and my wife over small to big topics incl. of marriage location, things etc.
So I called up her family on couple of occasions highlighting these difference of opinion and dis-satisfaction and requesting to stop the marriage. But her parents begged and promised to handle their daughter appro. Thinking they are nice people, somehow we reached the marriage date.
The day after marriage, she showed her true colours. She faught with me and my gentleman family over no space in house though we have a decent flat. Over getting additional cupboard though we had already communicate to her parents not to give any cupboard since we dont have place. We have never asked for anything since I and my family are completely against any dowry or anything like that. But her parents joined her in tormenting us. I also spent a lot of money on taking her out for honeymoon to Kerela that too in Aeroplane yet I was abused in front of couple in honeymoon and elsewhere when I returned back that I am begger who can't spend money on his wife. She refused to work in house, did not keep her original promise that she will trim down and learn all household work but instead prefered to sit at home and just eat, watch TV and abuse me and my parents. I and my family had spoken to her family on multiple occassions about her behaviour and called them to Mumbai for discussing what she wants and whether they would like to go for divorce as she too had told me that she wants it. But they never came and instead told us to keep her the way she is and allow her to quarrel.

4th Feb 2008 - She left for her home(Ahmedabad) for "Pag-Phera rasam". While there, we called up her parent, re-iterating our plight and her mis-behaviour in the house and requested them to come and meet us but they never came to meet us. This carried on for 3 months. After 3 months she suddenly comes to our home that too without her parents informing us that she is coming on so-and-so date. And instead she and her family told us "So what I did not inform, I have "Legal" right to come here...no one can stop me.". I said sure you are my wife and so you can come but knowing the background of our relationship, we had asked your parents to atleast speak to us face to face or lets go for divorce since you are not adjusting in your new home. I had to go out of bombay that very evening and taking advantage of this situation, promptly backed by lawyers and her family members, she attacked my family by abusing them with unspokable bad words, calling my mother and sister by derogatory names, and even hurling articles at them. After doing this she went out of home in our building and few friends to spread word that we are harrassing her and I had to come running back to Bombay.
In the meanwhile, her dad from ahmedadbad called up all our relative saying that I am asking for dowry and harrasing their daughter. He also threatened me that "Keep my daughter or else I will put you into legal soup, I will file dowry and harrasment charges against you if you dont allow my daughter to have her way". Then I tried to patchup with her and tried to keep her happy. But again she started a fight with my mother and sister and taking advantage of this situation ran to police to file NC against my entire family of harrasing her, not giving her money, mental torture etc.
We had told her family to come for discussion for last 3 months but theynever came. Then police took us to Police station and released us only after paying fine. They troubled us so much that my parents have left their own home because of their bad daughter in law and now are fearing false charges against them. At the age of 70 is this what they have to see. Please help and guide me get out of this mess. Please!

MANAS KUMAR NATH - MUMBAI

Name: MANAS KUMAR NATH
Comments: Dear Sir/Madam

My father (now 74 years) , mother (now 67 years) & brother (now 40 years) are the sufferer of clause IPC 498a. The wife of my brother committed suicide on 4th March 2003 by consuming Phenyl. They got married on 15th Nov. 1997. They have one child (boy now aged 10years). Her suicide got confirmed subsequently by the forensic reports.

After her unfortunate death, her father filed FIR saying the torture on her for dowry and filed FIR under 498a.

My brother got suspended from the Govt. Job (put in jail for mandatory 2 months) . My father & mother some how could get bail from court.

The proceedings of the case shall start on 25th June 2008.

Background :

The FIR was falsely slapped upon us as we have not insisted/asked for any dowry and there were no injuries or any other form of torture soon before her death or at any time during the entire period of 5 years of marriage life.

She might have committed suicide out of depression. She tried the same once earlier also but we could took her to hospital and she survived on that occasion. Unfortunately, the prescription of the treatment of that incidence got misplaced from our file and we are not able to get the prescription of that treatment of the earlier suicide attempt.

We have not taken any dowry from the deceased’s family (wife’s family) at any point of . Rather after her death , her father has taken all the little gold ornaments that she was having. We have taken the receipt from her father at the time of returning her ornaments……..

After that incidence our family condition got totally shattered and all of us are living in a very traumatized condition…..

Case

Police has recoded the statement of five witnesses (no eye witness) . Out of five witnesses four are in our favour and only one witness is against us.

Recently , we are trying for some understanding (compromise) with the parents of the deceased… so that there statement at the time of hearing becomes little soft……

I KNOW THAT THE CASE CAN NOT COMPROMISED / OUT OF COURT SETTLEMENT IS NOT POSSIBLE…….

PL. help us how to proceed. Pl…… HELP US TO COME OUT OF THE TRUMATIZED CONDITION OF OUR LIFE…… SAVE US …… SAVE US…

Elder brother.
Gratefully
