Domestic violence cases in India often involve complex emotional, social, and legal challenges. Victims frequently suffer in silence due to family pressure, financial dependency, or fear of retaliation. In this case, a young married woman approached our law firm seeking urgent help after enduring repeated violence and mental harassment from her husband and in-laws.
She was subjected to:
Physical assault
Frequent verbal abuse
Mental harassment over dowry
Control over finances
Threats of eviction from the shared household
When the situation escalated and her safety became a concern, she decided to take legal action. Our team immediately provided a safe, confidential environment to understand her situation, document every incident, and create a strong legal strategy.
Recognizing the urgent risk to her safety, we filed a petition under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, requesting protection orders, residence rights, custody of belongings, and monetary relief. The court acknowledged the seriousness of the matter and granted timely protection orders that legally restrained the husband and in-laws from committing any further violence or harassment.
Through additional follow-ups, counselling support, and coordination with authorities, we ensured she received continued protection, enabling her to rebuild her life safely and independently.
Several significant challenges arose during this domestic violence matter:
The client required urgent legal protection due to ongoing physical and mental abuse.
She was afraid her husband and in-laws might escalate the violence once legal proceedings began.
There was considerable pressure from relatives to “adjust” and avoid legal action, which made decision-making difficult for her.
Like many victims, she had limited written evidence, requiring careful reliance on statements, medical records, neighbours' testimony, and digital messages.
Her in-laws threatened to evict her from the matrimonial home, creating the need for strong legal intervention to secure her residence rights.
She had no income source, making it essential to claim monetary relief and maintenance to ensure her stability during the case.
These challenges required a sensitive, strategic, and legally sound approach.
Our legal team adopted a step-by-step, protective, and proactive approach:
We guided the client on personal safety steps, helpline support, and documentation of incidents while preparing urgent legal filings.
We filed a detailed petition under the Domestic Violence Act seeking:
Protection orders
Residence orders
Monetary relief
Restraining orders
Return of belongings
Compensation for mental harassment
We compiled strong supportive materials, including:
Medical reports for past injuries
WhatsApp messages containing threats
Audio/phone call records
Statements from neighbours and family
Past complaints made at women's helplines
In court, we presented the immediate risk and pattern of violence. The judge granted:
Restraining orders against the husband and in-laws
Direction to not remove her from the shared household
Orders prohibiting communication or intimidation
Right to continue residing safely in the matrimonial home
We secured interim monetary relief for her sustenance, covering:
Monthly expenses
Medical needs
Basic living costs
We provided confidential counselling and legal guidance to help her make informed decisions about her future, whether reconciliation or separation.
We coordinated with the Protection Officer to ensure:
Monitoring of compliance
Safety visits
Documentation of any further threats
The legal action produced strong and positive outcomes:
The court issued strict protection orders, preventing the husband and in-laws from committing any physical, verbal, or emotional abuse.
She was legally allowed to stay in the shared household without fear of eviction or interference.
Adequate monthly financial support was ordered to meet her expenses and maintain basic living standards.
The Protection Officer ensured compliance and immediate response to any further threats.
The client regained confidence, safety, and independence while exploring long-term legal options.
Following the court’s orders and legal warnings, the violent behaviour ceased entirely.
