What are my rights if wife filed false cases?

Sir, I would like to inform you that my wife has been cruel to me, and we already have all the evidence of her cruelty. She filed a case under CrPC Section 125. After that, I filed for divorce on the grounds of cruelty. Thereafter, my wife filed a Domestic Violence (DV) case and also lodged an FIR against me alleging torture. Kindly clarify my situation.

Since your wife filed false cases after your divorce petition, you should defend each case with your evidence of her cruelty. You can also apply for quashing the FIR if it's fake. If she’s earning or left without reason, you can challenge her maintenance claim. File your responses strongly and on time. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
