Legal Question in Family Law in India

Compromise then what

My wife has decided to withdraw dowry complaint and 125CPR maintainance case by writing to the appropriate authorities. My question can she file again these cases against me or any members of my family. She or her members of family can file some other cases against me after withdrawal of complaint and compromise?.

What precautions can I take against her going back on her word, should I also make sure that her whole family signs a statement. Please advise me appropriately.

Re: Compromise then what

the compromise should be a full and final settlement towards all her claims, including istridhan and maintenance/alimony; better if such a compromise is recorded in a court of law.

thereafter, they will not be entitled in law to file any case against you or your family.

Re: Compromise then what

If there is changes in circumstances or even otherwise there is no bar for wife to file dowry complaint after compromise. You may complain to police if your wife is again going to implicate you in false cases
