a decree for dissolution of marriage as early as on 02.12.2015. Meanwhile, the appellant filed MC No.13 of 2008 under Section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, and that was dismissed for default. Subsequently, she filed MC No.12 of 2012 under the very same provision seeking orders of residence and compensation. That MC was dismissed on 30.04.2022, ie. long after dissolving their marriage. The learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Thiruvananthapuram while disposing that MC found that, being the divorced wife, she was bound to shift her residence and she could have asked for alternate accommodation from her previous husband. But, she was not ready to accept the offer made by her previous husband, that he could transfer a double storied building in his name at Chempazhanthy, so that she could live in that building. The learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate went on to say that, the appellant herein was taking an adamant stand, and in fact she has been committing domestic violence against her ex-husband, so as to wreak vengeance against him. As no domestic violence was proved against the 3rd respondent, the MC filed by the appellant was dismissed.
