Legal Question in Family Law in India
Hi,
I got married last year and my husband lives in australia. i lived with my husband in australia alone for just 56 days and got to know about his habits and other interests. we had major fights in those days so i came back to my parents for a couple of days with my return ticket and every thing. but apparently after 6 days of my arrival my husband told that he wants divorce and blocked all ways to communicate with him since then he has given an authority letter to his father and he is appearing and signing every where as his representative. First we filed a case in women cell and for almost 8 months i attended the counselling sessions but firstly even my father in law didnt come and then for 5 sessions he visited the women cell and demanded for divorce on behalf of my husband.
I have filed cases of maintenance, harassment and Dowry and while the counselling sessions were on and after the mediation failed i received a summon of court to appear for DIVORCE CASE filed by my husband in his home town. Its been almost an year he has not appeared before any of the respective courts and moreover he has now even changed his job from his previous company so i have no idea where he works.
We got few threatening calls from my husband hometown and filed a complaint in the near by police station and also informed my counselor officer the same day. my father in law also threatened me in the mediation session to withdraw the case.
We filed a transfer petition by paying Rs 55000 to our lawyer in supreme court but on the first hearing only the case got denied. i am very much depressed and dont know where to go.
Few facts:-
My husband had made some audio recording of me fighting with him and on that basis he/my father in law has filed the divorce case.
He has submitted the whatsapp chat between us as the proof. Is it actually valid in court?
He/father in law has taken out some phone call records (the timings of call records) of my present phone number establishing the ground facts that i was involved with someone before and after marriage as i was in touch with that person by talking over phone.
He has some audio and whatsapp chat proof of me drinking wine with him once on our first night. Is this valid in court.. can anyone file a divorce case on such grounds?
He is having a physical relation with some girl in australia who used to work with him which he himself admitted to me after getting caught but i never made any audio recording of that so i dont have any proof about it.
He has purchased himself a big house there along with a new luxurious car where as i am here running to district courts and police stations and fighting for my dignity while he is enjoying his life in abroad.
Please guide me of how to bring him here and are these proofs enough to prove that i am guilty when it was exactly the opposite and moreover they are constantly threatening me and my family to step back or else they will do whatever it takes to spoil my life and image completely.
What should i do?
I want to mark mails to australian embassy about it and the same to his local police in australia. will this help me in finding his whereabouts? and is it possible for him to file a case and give authority to his father to fight as his representative while he enjoys in australia?
Please help.

1) On what grounds SC has turned down ur transfer application to be examined. it is normally allowed.
2) Ur audio video recordings whatsapp conversations if not tampered may be accepted as evidence,
but cannot be the ground for divorce.
3) To sanction interim maintenance u/s 125 CrPc, u hv to press for immediate relief.
4) If no action taken by Police on DV, 498A cases and ur alleged threatenings by ur in-law, u can
bring it to the notice of the court for protection.
5) Consult the lawyer appearing on ur behalf who can handle better in detail based on
facts and proceedings of the case. He has to act swift in bringing ur husband to book.
6) The husband cannot avoid and ask ur in-law to attend in those cases. The Police may not
be acting effectively.
