After marriage , my wife had stayed with me for 3 days only. After that on the pretext of joining her work place, she had left and did not return later. On the very next day of her joining her work place , she had told me she will not return to her matrimonial home as she could not stay with my aging parents. I had refused her demand to stay separately with her, from that day we are living separately. On calling her father , even he also threatened to either agree to his daughter's demand or be prepared for harsh actions . After 1.5 months of our marriage she had registered a FIR against me under 498 (A)/341 P.C and Section 3 of Dowry Prohibition Act. The police after several hearings acknowledged that she had inflicted a false case upon me and thus did not pass the case to court. It has been 1.4 years of marriage and 1.2 years of case being registered against me. Now after she has been transferred to another state, she has firstly sent a draft of mutual divorce petition through her lawyer in which the police case was no where mentioned. When her lawyer had called me, and i had objected then the lawyer has sent a new draft wherein it was mentioned that her client would WITHDRAW THE 498 (A) CASE WHICH WAS FILED BY HER CLIENT IN HER NATIVE STATE ONLY AFTER THE FINAL HEARING OF MUTUAL DIVORCE PETITION and that she is willing to undertake the same through signing a MOU . Her Lawyer even told That AFTER THE MUTUAL DIVORCE, HER DOWRY CASE would have no meaning and would be automatically dismissed When i told her lawyer to first withdraw the case and then i would sign in the Mutual Divorce petition , her lawyer told me that her client didn't agree to it and in case i stick to my decision that she would file for legal separation I fear two things 1) in case i agree to her New demands and after mutual divorce if she doesnot withdraw the 498(A) later as she would not have any bindings then i may be in a loop. 2) i being a government employee would find it tough to get frequent leaves in case she files the legal separation case in the new state as it takes almost 1.5 hrs to reach there by flight and is there any provision to get it filed in the native state of ours both , wherein in am working as police case is also registered over here only Kindly suggest to what shall i do
