A.Dear Client,

If you are facing continuous threats to your safety, mental and physical harassment within your home, and you are an economically independent adult, there are several steps you can take to seek assistance and ensure your well-being:

1. Contact a Social Worker or NGO:
- Reach out to a social worker or a non-governmental organization (NGO) that provides dedicated services to individuals facing crisis situations. They can offer support and guidance to help you navigate through the difficulties.

2. Explore Economic Independence:
- Since you are economically independent and believe you can manage outside without family support, consider taking steps towards living independently and pursuing the destiny of your choice.

3. File a Complaint under PWDV Act, 2005 (Sec.12):
- If the harassment persists, you have the right to file a complaint against your family under Section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence (PWDV) Act, 2005.

4. Contact National and State Human Rights Commissions:
- Lodge a complaint online with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and the State Human Rights Commission. You can also email the National Commission for Women at [email protected] or file an online complaint.

5. Seek Assistance from State Commission for Women and NGOs:
- Approach the State Commission for Women in your state for assistance. Additionally, reach out to NGOs that specialize in providing dedicated services to women in distress.

Remember, your safety and well-being are of utmost importance. Seeking help from relevant authorities and organizations can provide the support and protection you need in challenging situations.

A.Dear Sir,
You have two options one is stay away from your parents and file a suit for permanent injunction restraining your parents from interfering into your peaceful life. Secondly, you may intimate the Police that there are chances of your parents harming you.

A.Dear Client,
When you are experiencing such type of continuous threat to your safety and security including mental and physical harassment in-house, you can get in touch with a social worker or NGO who renders dedicated service to help you out of the crisis. This type of attitude is common among homes across the country hence it is not an isolated incidence. You cannot legally compel your father/family to maintain you as you are an adult. So, when you are economically independent and you feel you can manage outside without the support of your family for all your needs, nothing prevents or restricts you from walking out of your home to look for the destiny of your choice. You have the right to file a complaint against your family in the local police station under Sec.12 of the PWDV Act, 2005. Apart from this, you can make a complaint online (https://nhrc.nic.in/complaints/complaints/how-to-file-a-complaints) to the Chairperson, the National Human Rights Commission, New Delhi and the State Human Rights Commission along with the Chairperson, National Commission for Women and State Commission for Women who are empowered to investigate complaints related to atrocities faced by women by sending an email to [email protected] or filing an online complaint. Further, you can also approach the State Commission of Women situated in your state, and seek help from the NGOs who rendered dedicated service to the women in distress.
