How to save my sister from her in-laws' domestic violence?
2 years ago
My sister is living in Bihar with her husband's sister's family,
Her husband's bahnoi keeps torturing her mentally and threatening to beat her,
When my parents went to them to talk about it then he abused them badly and tried to beat my 70 years old father, he has threatened to beat my father and my sister.
I live in Noida, please suggest me some legal solutions by which security of my sister can be assured.
And something which I can do from Delhi or Noida only.
You can file case in Noida by bringing your sister by approaching local police there. Your sister is entitled for monthly maintenance and also can register Domestic Violence case against her husband and his family members.
PLEASE GIVE ME RATING AS RANK 5

Please take note that a zero FIR can be filed in any police station within the territory of India by the victim( irrespective of her residence or the place of occurrence of crime) or by her family or a relative, or any other person who knows the facts relating to the incident and the police officer cannot refuse to register that FIR even if the commission of the offense was outside that police station's jurisdiction because justice is neither delayed nor denied.
Please further take note no Police Officer can deny the registration of Zero FIR. It is lodged under the serial number “0” and hence, its name.If the officer-in-charge of your local police station refuses to record the information, then you can make complaint to the Superintendent of Police (SP) who can either direct the lodging of the FIR or register it himself and initiate the investigations.

Read a blog on DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN INDIA AND THE LEGAL PROVISIONS
Firstly try to release her from that surrounding and take her to some safe place. As early as possible initiate a domestic violence complaint and approach the women's protection cell. Alongside your father can also file a complaint in the police station for threatening and physical violence.

You have to ensure that your sister is out of that place to first bring her out of any danger of getting assaulted further physically harmed then thin of any legal action.
If things turn out very ugly then go for ZERO FIR, which can be filed in any police station even in NOIDA or Delhi.
