My parents are mentally torturing me

Dear Client,
A person can restart his or her life afresh at any stage or age if she or he is inspired or encouraged to do so by well-wishers. If you feel you can manage yourself outside without the support of others for all your needs, nothing prevents or restricts you from walking out of your paternal home to look for the destiny of your choice. So, you need to arrange for an independent source of income to live your life on your terms. In the given situation, you have the right to file a complaint against your abusive father who subjected you to domestic violence or hurt you mentally and emotionally at the local police station under Sec.12 of the PWDV Act, 2005. Under Section 12(1) of the Domestic Violence Act, 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 that include the right to reside in a shared household, prohibitory order and residence order. 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 domestic violence or atrocities faced by women by sending an email to ncw@nic.in or filing an online complaint on their official website. Further, you can also seek help from the NGOs that render dedicated service to 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 aid/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.
