Legal Question in Family Law in India
I was confined in the house by my husband & mother-in-law for dowry,then police rescued me & brought me to my parents house 2 yrs back. Since then we are staying separately. I did not do any FIR, I only did a General diary. Now 2 yrs hav passed and i have filed a maintenance case only.He in turn has filed RCR. He never came to take me back and we are not in talking terms also. If I wish can I do FIR now? Some of my jewellrey is also lying with my mother-in-law & she has tortured me a lot.What case can I file aganst my mother-in-law now? They are saying I have stolen all the expensive items, money & jewellery. Can they file any case against me? What other cases I can file against them & what will be the expenditure?
