Legal Question in Family Law in India
i got married in november 2009. me and my husband used to b happy except for the demand from my in laws to get additionAL DOWRY. ONLY DUE TO THEIR PHONE CALLS MY HUSBAND USED TO HAVE HIGH MOOD SWINGS NUSED TO ABUSE ME N BEAT ME AT TIMES., BUT THE VERY NEXT DAY HE USED TO BE NORMAL. i thought things will come to normal ground after a year or so. but suddenly in march one day my husband asked me to go to maternal house, i refused. then at mid night he behaved as if he z suffering with hypertension n started crying excessively. i had to run on roads and took him to hospital, wherein he refused admission and treatment. later doctor asked me to take him to a psychiatrist and said he was acting and he doesnt have any problem. next day he booked tkts to both of us to go to my parents house. and before setting out for journey he said that he loves me but has to leave me. i didnt understand. but since 2-3 days before this hospital drama he was getting calls from my in-laws, and he used to shout on me n after sometime he used to make loveas ever. finally we reached our maternal house, he left me there and went away. after that he didint pick my call. after a week after several attempts my in laws asked me and my parents to come to their place . there they gathered some people and said that i am harrasing their son and so he has phobia towards me and all. after negotiations they asked me to stay there. i stayed for a week and witnessed the real meaning of hell. they started pressurising me to stay with my parents and asked me to get a flat on their son's name.later me and my husband went back to our place and my husband started torturing me physically and mentally for two days. one day he poured hot oil on me. on third day he returned from office and has made me drink something and said he will kill me if at all i dont do what he says and asked me to act like a pyscho and yell out on him and scold his parents using filthy language. i begged him to leave me as i was ill since i dnt have proper food since a week.
next day he left to office and didnt come back.i was tensed and called his office, friends. later i came to know that he went to his parents. blocked the atm card he gave me to pay bills. i somehow managed to reach my maternal house. my parents made efforts to contact him and his parents. they didint respond and said they dnt want me anymore.
after a month we filed 498 case on him and my in-laws got arrested. my husband managed to get bail. at that time we came to know that they already filed a petition of divorce prior to our complaint. it was shocking because they filed it on grounds of cruelty and harrasment.
i and my husband used to be very happy xcpt for the demands from my in laws.. i have photos, one or two video clips, msgs he has sent to me till starting of march, tickets of places we visited, photos at that time, testimonial he wrote for me on a social site, bank statements. every weekend we used to go out and photos taken there. the dairy i wrote.
the serious trouble started with the phones of my inlaws to their si\on since stating of march. my husband is a real puppet in the hands of his parents, i know it.., but how can he forget that how much we love each other and sign divorce papers that too stating that i harrased him?
please tell me how to prove my innocence and my love towards my husband in front of honourable court? i know my husband is puppet in the hands of his parents, but how to prove it in the court?
i have 2 emails which my husband has sent to his friends saying he has to take some decision on marriage front, and a mail from friends of my in laws to my husband asking him to drop his ideas of leaving me and getting divorce and asked him to go for counselling and to stop saying phobia and all. these letters were dated in the first and second week of march itself, that is when my husband and me used to be together.
meanwhile my brother in law said that they have videographed me on the night when my husband has forced me to act like pyscho and with that evidence they will get divorce.
sir except for the forceful video i can swear and say tht i never atleast shouted on my husband and i have all the chating and msgs my husband used to send from office. if i am really harrasing how will we roam, be happy, have msgs full of love, and play badminton. how to prove the video is taken with a bad intension?
its my inlaws who have started the foul play, please tell me how to save my married life. if they want money i will earn and give them , but how can i give my married life. please help me..
