May 3, 2026 at 8:35 pmGood Morning,
My spouse has filed a bogus 498a claim against me and my parents. My parents are Indian citizens but I am not and hence the question is what happens if i dont appear for any dates.
Could I be arrested as a foreign national ?> Marriage was registered in India, Vadodara Gujarat.

2. Which country do you belong to? : Canada
3. Do you have children? : no
4. Do you have any criminal history? : no
5. How often do you visit India? : 3-5 years
6. Are your parents Senior Citizens? : yes 70 years of age
7. Have you filed an complaint or case against her? : no
8. Have you considered filing a domestic violence case against your wife on your motherβs behalf ? : Haven’t considered yet.> How dangerous the situation could get.
> We have already applied for quashing of 498a before high court of Gujarat.

> If anyone was in the same boat please provide a bit of what happened in your case.
