Legal Support for Dowry Harassment & False Allegation Cases
Section 498A / Section 85 BNS Lawyer in Bangalore
Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code—and its updated counterpart, Section 85 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)—protects married women from cruelty, harassment, and abuse related to dowry or domestic violence. However, while the law safeguards genuine victims, it is also frequently misused, leading to false and exaggerated cases against husbands and their families.
At Bangalore Divorce Lawyer, we provide expert legal support to both victims of dowry harassment and those falsely accused—ensuring justice is served with fairness, dignity, and strong legal backing.
What is Section 498A / Section 85 BNS?
Section 498A IPC (Now Section 85 BNS) criminalizes cruelty against a woman by her husband or in-laws, particularly related to dowry demands, harassment, physical or mental abuse.
It is a cognizable, non-bailable, and non-compoundable offense—meaning arrest can happen without warrant, and the case cannot be withdrawn without court permission.
