Dowry case
1 month ago
I want to file dowry and domestic violence case against my father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law. As my mother-in-law is my step mother-in-law, she took 10 lakhs cash before marriage and now they were demanding more than 10 lacs when I and my husband disagreed. She consoled my father-in-law and evicted my husband, me and my son from the house and documented it on papers, so that the whole property belongs to her own son.
A.Dear Client,
In the prevailing situation, you have the following legal remedies to resolve the crisis. 1) you can file a complaint/FIR against your parents and other family members who subjected you and your family to domestic violence in the local police station under Sec.12 of the PWDV Act, 2005 along with Sec.498A for dowry harassment. An aggrieved person or a Protection Officer or any other person on behalf of the aggrieved person may present an application directly to the Magistrate seeking one or more reliefs under this Act. 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 local NGOs who rendered dedicated service to the women in distress. If you are not financially sound enough to continue with litigation expenses, you can apply before the Member Secretary, State Legal Services Authority or Dist. Legal Services Authority seeking free legal services available to women under Sec.12(c) of the Legal Services Authority Act, 1987 to contest the cases before the Court for appropriate relief. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.
