Can Domestic voilence be filed on own brother and his inlaw's family


23-Jun-2023 (In Family Law)
I am 50 years old unmarried working woman, and I stay in the house which was built by my father. My parents are no longer alive. I have a brother who stays with his wife, child, his mother in law and father in law in the same house I live that is by fathers home. They have confined me to a single room and occupying the entire house. They are mentally harassing me. Can I file a 498 a against them. Your assistance will be highly appreciated.

You can definitely file a case of domestic violence against your brother his wife and his in laws who are torturing you in one or other way but not under section 498a. Also you can file civil suit for partition as the house belongs to your father you are entitled for equal share in the house. If you need any further assistance please contact me.
