Domestic violence and abuse by wife and in-laws Domestic violence and abuse by wife and in-laws

1 year ago

My in-laws have come to my house on 20.11.22 and accused me of causing miscarriage of my wife without any basis. Me and my wife already has a one year old son. I took my wife to the doctor on 18.11.22 and she had undergone all the required medical tests. Still then, my father-in-law, with support from my wife, abused me and my family in filthy language and tried to hit me with bare hands. My wife also keeps abusing me daily because I go to my sister's house everyday to see my 82yrs old mother who is under medical treatment there as it is my moral responsibility and duty. My wife has also bit my middle finger in the presence of my in-laws on the night of 20.11.22 in her fit of rage. Upon seeing a doctor, the doctor reported the case to the police. I have submitted a written complaint and an enquiry is pending. All these are recorded in the cctv camera of my house having audio-video recording. What additional steps can I take against this humiliation and harassment? Can I file a defamation suit against my in-laws and prevent them from entering my house?

A.You must lodge a FIR against your wife and parents in law before your local police station for such brutal torture against you both physically and mentally. If the local police authority refuses to lodge a FIR then kindly seek the help of an advocate to get the order from the court of a magistrate in your local jurisdiction then the police shall be bound to obey the order of the court for initiating a FIR for proper investigation.
