Sometimes allegations are made bigger than they really are, or used because of anger, fights in the relationship, jealousy, or to take advantage in divorce or child-custody matters.

Protected persons: wives, live-in partners, mothers, sisters, daughters — anyone in a domestic relationship with the respondent.
For men, elders, or falsely accused persons: Indian law offers remedies through the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for assault, intimidation, extortion, and cyber-offences. Those accused can seek anticipatory bail, quashing, or discharge.
The police can file an FIR if a woman faces cruelty from her husband or in-laws, dowry demands, physical attack, threats, harassment. These crimes are covered under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Dowry Prohibition Act.

Submit Proof: Both parties submit the evidence, documents, medical reports, call records, and witness statements.
Cross-Examination and Arguments: After submission the evidence, both parties lawyers get a chance to ask questions to the other side in court. This helps the judge understand what really happened and whether the evidence is true or false. Lawyers also make final arguments to explain their side of the story and what relief they are seeking.
Final Decision: After hearings and cross-checking evidence, the court gives its final order.
