Divorce due to DV, children taken by husband and not returning them


17-Dec-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My sister has been married for 10 years and has 3 daughters. She has been facing cruelty from her husband and in-laws from within 1month of marriage. Till now, she and her husband have both tried to work the marriage after every incident of abuse and now she can't take it anymore. She has been accused of not raising the children properly and the husband has taken away the children. They are not giving back the children now. She has filed a complaint for now on DV, not a registered case on him. Please advise on how to proceed, whether to go for Mutual or Contested Divorce. She has been completely depressed and even reached a point where she wants to see how they end up raising the kids and is ready to file a mutual divorce giving him custody and receiving Alimony for her ordeals these past 10years. Is this possible? How us this seen by the court?

please file a case for maintenance under section 125 and for divorce under section 13 on ground of cruelty, there after when he appears settle the matter on your terms and conditions, like what amount of permanent aliomny and other rights in respect of children and then go for mutual consent divorce if everything looks fine.

Hi... if your sister wish to end the marriage and she don't want to come under the proceedings of the court for long time then both can file for mutual consent by that they can dissolve the marriage by six months and if your sister have any claim she can claim in mediation.
Thank you
