        Good 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.

        1. Are you in India at the moment? : Thankfully no
        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 mother’s behalf ? : Haven’t considered yet.

        > How dangerous the situation could get.
        > We have already applied for quashing of 498a before high court of Gujarat.
        > The claims do not mention date or instances of alleged violence. Just general and vague allegations of mental cruelty.
        > If anyone was in the same boat please provide a bit of what happened in your case.
