• Dowry demand complaint

Hello! My wife filed a fake Dowry Demand complaint against me and my parents just after one month of marriage. She came with multiple diseases which were identified when I got a basic blood test done after marriage. As she was going to her home town, I asked her parents to get a thorough medical health checkup/report when she returns. In place of getting those health check done, they filed this complaint in "mahila thana". We have asked health checkup many times before marriage but they did not do it before marriage. 

In this situation, I want to ask if a lawyer can represent me/my parents in the mahila thana. Also, based on the health diseases, can I file a complaint/case against wife/her parents. What are the other options to tackle this situation.

You are not required to be there in person. It will be prudent if at least one of your relatives accompanies your lawyer to the police station. Since she suppressed from you the fact that she is suffering from multiple diseases you can file a case for fraud.

you have stated that she was identified with multiple diseases after basic health check up one month after marriage . do you have test report? what were the nature of diseases she has been diagnosed as suffering from ? elucidate .

these details are necessary to help us understand whether your consent to marriage was vitiated by fraud .

as far as remaining present before mahila thana is concerned you can be represented by your lawyer along with any of your close family relatives .
