Wife hid medical condition, now threatening 498A, what to do?

My wife has an endometriosis cyst that she did not disclose before our marriage. She got pregnant in the first week of the third month of marriage, but we had a miscarriage at 3 months. The report confirmed the cyst, and the doctor has advised laparoscopy for her. However, she has left, and her mother is blaming me for this and threatening to file a case under Section 498A.

While your wife's failure to disclose the endometriosis before marriage is a relevant point, it's crucial to understand that this doesn't automatically invalidate the marriage or give her the right to file a Section 498A case against you. Take legal advice from a lawyer. They can explain your rights and options, and help you understand how to respond to any potential legal action. Collect evidences like medical reports pr any communication between your wife and your family members. For further assistance, contact our helpline.
