A.1) No. Use the money as part payment made in mutual consent divorce (MCD).
2) No. It is of no use. By doing so, you will be purchasing more litigation.
3) Practically it is not possible. You need to prove the same with material proofs, yes, there is a chance of criminal defamation, subject to you prove it before court.

A.what do you mean by "they filed joint mutual consent divorce petition."?
mutual divorce is filed by both husband & wife. pls clarify the facts for a better understanding.

if you want to terminate the matrimonial knot, then, try to settle the matter amicably with your wife involving elders/relatives/friends etc and go for #Mutual Consent Divorce which will be decided in 6-18 months, and you both will be free to live life with your wish,

if failed, you have two options,
one option is to,
file #contested divorce on the grounds of #mental cruelty but it will take around 3-5 years,
once you file contested divorce she may file/claim
#498a complaint
#Domestic Violence case
#maintenance,
so be ready for them too,
and,
the second option is to file #Restitution of conjugal rights petition in the Court, to show your bonafide intentions to save the matrimonial tie, however, you can withdraw the same any time,
RCR will work as a safeguard to 498a, maintenance, DV etc

A.Hi,
It is advisable to file rcr only if you wish to co-exist with your wife. You can claim compensation for the abuse done by the in-laws.
