Your mother once slapped your wife, well it is unlikely that you get punishment for the event that happened long ago. About your intention to file for divorce, you need to come up with more details.

You have a serious complex issue wherein if it is proved you will be punished, sentenced as per the prevailing law.

You can opt for mutual dissolution, out of court settlement and judicial separation as the case may be.Better to contact a professional Family Lawyer to guide & help you on all aspects of the issue and protecting your interest quickly.

Facts not clear. Can you be more specific how your received this amount of Rs 1 lakh. How long is your marriage and under which law?

Any person who gives or takes or abets the giving or taking of dowry fall within the purview of the section 3 Dowry Prohibition Act. So if you have demanded dowry and your in-laws had given you dowry, then both of you will fall within the meaning of this section. Generally, no one comes up with this sort of complaints against anyone once dowry has be given and received during or after marriage. Beside its to be proved that there was such demand and transaction had occurred. I agree with Advocate Kavery Anand Pandharpurkar, you can take defend yourself by denying absolutely that it was for the marriage expenses. Gifts received by the husband are his property while gifts received by wife are stridhan.

What I apprehend from your given situation is that she is most likely to lodge a complaint against you u/s 498A IPC and Domestic Violence. For that you need to apply for anticipatory bail from the HC. File a divorce petition on the ground of cruelty. Or else you both amicably settle the matter and file an application for a judicial separation and get MD after a year.

She has to prove that you have taken dowry. Moreover, if such assault of your mother meted to her has taken place long ago then such act cannot be proven as domestic violence.
