498a motives and solutions

The key motives identified behind 498a are

1. Extortion
2. Harassment
3. Spoiling Career
4. Making life miserable a.k.a not letting you marry again




Extortion - Make a strong decision not to pay off no matter what ever happens. Convey your intention through all open communication channels including your lawyer. Lawyers are the most money hungry gang in this extortion racket.

Harassment - The more you try to run away from the legal proceedings the more THEY win. 498a is the only drama where the climax comes first. Once everyone gets bailed out then its just a piece of shit. Learn about counter attack and be prepared, then wait for the right time.

Spoiling Career - The intention is to create chaos and make your travel documents messy, getting you fired and bringing you back to India forever. This may happen only when you try to run away from the proceedings. All you need is a bail to overcome this and above all to regain peace of mind. Getting an AB while you are in other country is not a big deal. The only risk is about the conditions of surrendering passport. The sooner you show interest in attending the case the less chances for such strict conditions. In the long run it will help you a lot. There are many NRIs who got AB without any conditions including me. In that case all you need is the time required to travel and one day to present in the court to get AB executed to regular bail.

Making life miserable - If you follow the above mentioned solutions, then you can grin at the 498a gang. Whats left is 'Remarriage'. Learn about Domestic Violence Act, 498a, 304B and various maintenance acts; The thoughts of remarriage FROM India will automagically go away.
