Harrasment and torture by in laws of my Sister.


11-Jan-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My sister from MP was married to a family in Lucknow her husband works in Gujarat and she was living with her father and mother in law in Lucknow. After marriage her in laws started tonting her for dowry when she raised her voice against it then they started priming her husband against her over phone and gradually her husband also started misbehaving with her. Day by day things got worse and they started regularly abusing her and torturing mentally and by physical attacks and asking her to return to her father's house. When we got to know we spoke to them but they misbehaved with us as well. Still we waited thinking they will change but no improvement occurred. Now we have decided to remove her from there to save her life. I want to know what all we can do as per law to punish them and give justice to my sister. Also we are from MP so from where should we file case against them from MP or from Lucknow. Kindly advise.

You have a number of remedies and law is in your favour, but you need to take stapes carefully otherwise you will not succeed in cases. You can file 4-5 cases against in-laws and husband. For relief you want.
