Domestic violence and mental harassment by in laws


02-May-2023 (In Divorce Law)

My husband and I had no fights inspite of the fact that earns so little and he had told 4 times the present salary at time of marriage. he drinks, smokes and resorts to physical violence along with the greedy parents who demand me to sell my house that my parents gifted me on my marriage. when i do not do so they all assemble and mentally torture me and also beat up. I filed a complaint in women's cell. they sent a notice to them for counselling. but they have hired a lawyer. Should i hire one too but why a lawyer during counselling ?

When the matter is pending for counselling at women's cell they persuade to settle the matter and with a warning to the accused and his parents that in future they may arrest them based on your complaint. They have hired a lawyer to be on the safer side since the complaint may become FIR and based on that they could even be arrested. So to avoid such a situation and to get anticipatory bail etc., they keep a lawyer. Since you are the complainant you could see how the whole proceedings are going on and whether its going fair or they are giving undue leverage to your husband's family thereafter for your convenience you could be in touch with a lawyer and keep updating all to your parents and closer one since they may try to harass you again.

You should have engage a lawyer and proceed further not only on women cell but also approach the court. If he is harassing you, you should lodge an FIR without this you will not get the justice. Women cell just does a counselling between husband and wife . No fruitful result can be brought on record. Choice is yours. I would advise you to consult a lawyer because he is doing so. It means he has an upper hand over the case. At the end it's your call.
