Mental/Psychological harassment by sister's in law
1 year ago
My husband and I have been the victim of constant mental harassment by my sister's in law.My husband has two sisters both are married twice and have children and he is the youngest sibling in the family. Before I got married in that house my husband's eldest sister constructed a one storey building in her father's house(she was already married at that time and staying somewhere with her first husband in a rented apartment). Now that I've been married to his brother she constantly claims that my husband and I have no right in the house and tells us to stay away.My mother in law also supports her daughters. Now the woman(without giving divorce to her first husband)has second marriage with a Pakistani muslim man and both wife and husband resides in Kuwait. Still this days she torture us through phone calls or through my mother in law not to touch her property. Few years ago we had a family dispute at home and she charged a false case against us,even my mother in law supported her. The case finally resolved after one year but still her behaviour hasn't changed.When my husband and I think of taking step against it she along with my mother in law threaten us that we will be jailed.What should I do in that case? Should I lodge an FIR or GD? Please help us
The acts that you mentioned come under the purview of domestic violence. You can seek remedies against the same.
Protection of Women from Domestic Violence, 2005 is a landmark legislation that vindicates the violation of women’s right to life and liberty. The law is in compliance with international obligations under the Convention against Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). Prior to this, domestic violence was mainly addressed by the Anti-Dowry Statute only. The acts of violence against women have been treated as an offence under Section 489A of the Indian Penal Code, since the second amendment in 1983
You may immediately lodge complaint with Police and also take recourse under the provisions of Domestic Violence Act which are exhaustive in nature.
