But no divorcing someone doesn't ever come under the DV act
Nd it's usually the husband/ex husband who is considered the father for a period of about 300 days (I'm not sure of the number)
The court is not a fool that you can just say anything, her medical report will have how many months pregnant she was when she gave birth
She can't act like oops I thought it was a preterm birth
She could've obviously gone to court filed a criminal suit against AbhiM nd made that a basis of Nav legally adopt Abhir but not put Nav name on the birth certificate (that' providing false information on a very important document)
Establishing paternity or requests to change the BC might be civil suits but u can always file a criminal complaint for giving out false information
For eg Abhir could file a complaint saying his mother wrote wrong name on this BC thus depriving him of his inheritance from his RWP nd having to live a life of limited means when he could've lived in luxuries
You cannot just say "chalo I will keep a divorce papersready to throw in your face just in case you eff up/have a miscarriage/my brother dies during your existemce." In-laws/husbands cannot pressurise DIL to sign divorce papers. Akshara was not given a choice.
Manjari explicitly asked for Akshara to be removed from her marital home. It wasn't like they said "now we don't like each other, let's move out and separate mutually." Furthermore, she was verbally assaulted and physically manhandled. All of this falls under DV act.
Writing non-biological father's name in Birth Certificate is not a criminal offence.
An unwed mother doesn't even require a father'a name let alone the fact that she moved in with Abhinav soon after.
There was plausible cause for her/court to believe that Abhinav could have been the father.
Let's remember the fact that the hospital owned by her abusive in-laws misattested to her miscarriage. She could easily counter sue them and Birla hospital would pay her a lifetime of money to settle out of court.
Your invocation of Indian Evidence Act of 1872 hinges on the assumption that a) Akshnav weren't married at the birth which is not clear in the show b) there was no plausible possibility of someone else fathering Abhir.
So lets reverse the case, if Abhir was really Abhinav's biological son born preterm, would he then also be considered Abhimanyu's legal son because born before eight months of divorce?
