Entry into matrimonial home by duplicate keys
23-Jun-2025 (In Divorce Law)
I am ousted by my in laws and husband since 6 months i have to take shelter at my parents home but i cannot stay here for long already filled dv case can i go and enter the matrimonial home by duplicate keys
Can there be any legal complications
As your legal right under the Domestic Violence Act, you’re entitled to reside in the shared household, including your matrimonial home, regardless of ownership. However, re-entering using duplicate keys without a court order may trigger unnecessary police complaints (e.g., trespass or forceful entry), even if not legally sustainable.
Since you’ve already filed a DV case, the recommended course is to immediately seek a residence order under Section 19 PWDVA through your counsel. Interim relief can also be requested to protect your right and prevent retaliation.

yes you can go to your matrimonial home if you stay some time in that house already. it is your right to have a shelter in your matrimonial home. no body can throw you out from that home. if your case is on going you can also ask court and court will help you to go inside that house. but not with duplicate keys.
