Due to temperamental differences, both the parties could not live together as husband and wife. The relationship between them became strained and F.I.R was registered against the petitioners on account of harassment and humiliation caused by the petitioners on the pretext of bringing less dowry by respondent No. 2.

As per report, statement of the complainant and joint statements of petitioners have been recorded and they stated that the matter has been duly compromised between them. The compromise has been entered voluntarily. The complainant as well as her daughter have no objection if the F.I.R be quashed against the petitioners.
