Wife's Patience & Silence To Save Marital Life Reflects Sincerity, Not Weakness: Madhya Pradesh High Court

Live Law  

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has observed that if a wife maintains patience and silence with the sole intention of saving her matrimonial life, it cannot be said that it is her weakness; on the contrary, it shows her sincerity towards her marital life. The wife lodged the FIR under Sections 498-A, 323, 294, 506, 34 of IPC and under Section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act alleging that she married applicant No.1 in 2015, wherein her father gave Rs.11,00,000 in cash and household items as dowry. Against the backdrop of these submissions, the single judge noted that as per the FIR and the allegations levelled therein, it becomes clear that applicants No.3 and 5, who are real sisters, are interfering in the family affairs of each other's family and prima facie treating their daughters-in-law with cruelty and the allegations against them are specific and clear. So far as the submission made by counsel for applicants that the FIR in question was lodged after the institution of an application under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act was concerned, the court noted that if the wife maintains patience and silence with the solitary intention to save her matrimonial life, then it cannot be said that it was her weakness, rather it shows her sincerity towards the marriage.
