If your husband is physically abusing you and misusing alcohol, you have clear legal remedies.You can file a case under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 for protection, residence, and monetary relief. For cruelty and assault, you may lodge a criminal complaint under Section 498A IPC and Section 323 IPC.You can approach the police immediately for protection. If you choose to live separately, claim maintenance under Section 125 CrPC.Keep evidence like medical records and photos of injuries. If there is immediate danger, move to a safe place and seek help from police or a Protection Officer.

Q: I need a legal advice in this matter

I have been married for 20 years, due to my business loss, i have sold my house and settle loans and balance amount around 28 lacs deposited into my daughter bank account, now my daughter and wife refuse to take the money from deposit. now i am in pennyless position. let me give some advice about this matter

Advocate Sreelakshmi A S answered
You generally cannot withdraw money from your daughter’s account if it is treated as her funds, especially if she is a major. If she is a minor, withdrawals must be for her benefit and may require consent of the guardian.However, if you deposited the amount only for safekeeping or a specific purpose (not as a gift), you may have legal grounds to claim it back, subject to proof.This depends on facts and documents. Please call me to discuss in detail and take proper legal steps.

Yes, recovery of gold and other valuables from an abusive husband is legally enforceable.If the gold ornaments were given to the wife at the time of marriage or thereafter, they are considered her personal property (stridhan), and she has full rights over them. Retaining the same without her consent amounts to unlawful possession.You can initiate proceedings for recovery of the gold before the Family Court or file a complaint, and in appropriate cases, criminal action for breach of trust can also be considered.Additionally, relief can be sought under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 for return of such belongings.Before proceeding, it is important to understand the details and available evidence.You may share more information so I can guide you on the appropriate legal steps.

Yes, child custody after divorce is decided based on the welfare and best interests of the child.Both parents have equal rights, but the court will consider factors like the child’s age, emotional needs, financial stability, and overall environment before granting custody. Generally, for young children, custody is often given to the mother, while the father may be granted visitation rights, unless circumstances suggest otherwise.You can approach the Family Court seeking custody, visitation, or even joint custody depending on your situation.Before proceeding, it is important to understand the specific facts involved so that the best course of action can be decided.You may share more details so I can guide you accordingly.
