Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

i have filed a case u/s 498 a /120 b/406 against my MIL/FIL/Spouse. FIL & MIL have been granted AB whereas AB of husband was rejected by spouse. meanwhile, both the parties got into settlement mode which could not materialize. the settlement include some lumpsum payment, MCD & quashing of 498. now since settlement couldn't happen, my lawyer is suggesting to file case for maintenance & DV ? I don't want to stretch this 498 case further by putting more cases further ...pls suggest best way to resolve this issue?

Marriage should not be a tool to settle scores or to extort money. however if they have really treated you with inhumanity then only you should torture them otherwise finish it peacefully. today the cases are being filed against the girls too and courts are taking strict view on this. maintenance and DV may not bring the desired result unless you are ready to go to their home. My suggestion is to take the matter in Mediation from the court and try to settle it there. the delay will harm you emotionally.

your question ends with ".......pls suggest best way to resolve this issue?"

Best way to resolve a matrimonial issue for both the parties is to settle amicably. every single day adds to the age. Ultimately it is mutual settlement. If you have come to conclusion that this marriage cannot be saved then mutual settlement is the best answer. Multiplying litigation neither helps wife nor the husband. Mediation is one remedy to break the impasse. The DV or any other litigation may be added at any time wife desires.
