Domestic violence by parents to their 26 year old daughter
1 month ago
I want to ask about the procedures to file a domestic violence case against my parents and the approximate charges that I'll have to bear for it. What will happen to my parents once the case is filed? Is there any way to send a legal notice about this before filing a case? If yes then what are the procedures?
Awaiting your response. Thank you.
A.Dear Client,
When you are experiencing such type of 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. If 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 and to live your life on your own terms. 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 issues faced by women in distress 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.
