    Dear Madam, My answers are as follows: 1- Can I file for 498a and other streedhan related cases in India. My parents live in India. How can they file that on my behalf. Do they need POA (Power of Attorney) to file the complaint in police station. Ans: It is very difficult for them to file any case against you. However you can file complaint under Section 406 of Indian Penal Code to recover streedhana along with Section 498A of IPC for subjecting you to cruelty. 2- Can I file for Domestic Violence case in India. Do I need to be physically present for filing this or a POA will do. Ans: It can be filed within 1 year of departure from the house of husband and he should have maintained matrimonial house in India. Please give me rank after viewing my details. Please call me for further assistance.

You have to give POA to them. 2- You can print the petition prepared by lawyer and get it attested in US and send to lawyer. Your parents can also file DV case on your behalf. No need to be physically present for filing it but for evidence both husband and wife have to come to India. - It will be better to give US Divorce papers also. Also it will be better if you have any police complaint in US.
