A. There is no law like that to force away a son from the house of if he is an addict then you can get him admitted to a rehabilitation centre for recovery. In case there is any signs of mental illness that can be proven then you file an application for Reception Order under Indian Mental Health Act, 1987, to a Magistrate to send him to an asylum.

My father threatens my mother even without divorce that he won't pay for the family and he will set a limit by court. Is it legally possible without divorce?
