Yes, in order to get Maintenance in DV Proceedings, you need to be aware of the Salary of your spouse, so that, if your spouse puts wrong details of his or her Salary on Affidavit, you can disclose such supression of fact before court and as such, can file a case of Perjury against your spouse or partner.
The basic documents required are the proof of your marriage i.e. the invitation card, marriage photograph, your identity card etc. Salary slip is needed but not at the stage of filing the domestic violence case. If the spouse is working, he/she will have to file the salary slip at the time of filing assets and liabilities affidavit.
To file a Domestic Violence (DV) case, the following documents are generally required:
Complaint/Application: A detailed written complaint outlining the incidents of domestic violence.
Identity Proof: Aadhar card, passport, or any government-issued ID.
Marriage Proof (if applicable): Marriage certificate or wedding photographs.
Medical Records: If there are any injuries, medical reports or prescriptions.
Police Complaints (if any): Copies of previous complaints filed with the police.
Photographic or Video Evidence: Proof of violence or damage to property.
Witness Statements: If any, statements of people aware of the abuse.
Financial Documents: Bank statements, property papers, or any documents proving financial dependence or abuse.
Regarding your spouse’s salary slip, it is not mandatory for filing the DV case, but it is useful if you are seeking monetary relief, maintenance, or compensation. If your spouse refuses to provide it, the court can direct them to submit income details during the proceedings.
