after 4 month leaving matrimonial home can a wife lodge fir in 498a 377 307 505

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

If possible, you may try to sort out the matter amicably. If both parties can arrive at a compromise, then all cases may be withdrawn / compounded and you may agree for a mutual consent divorce, or may be the marriage may be declared null and void under Section 12 of the Hindu Marriage Act (since you appear to have filed a case under this section).

If there is no compromise between the two parties, you’ll have to fight the case on merits. Consult your lawyer on facts of the case.
