Question

My sister has been married for the last 6 years and she has constantly faced physical & verbal/emoti

20-Feb-2023 (In Divorce Law)

My sister has been married for the last 6 years and she has constantly faced physical & verbal/emotional abuse over this period. She has been coping with all of this in the hope of things improving and also due to societal pressure. But nothing has improved. The most recent of her agony was today(02/19) when her husband abused her, our father and slapped on her face and kicked in her groin area. She is now feeling suffocated and at loss of self esteem to continue staying there in immediate term. She wants to return to our parents and spend some time to introspect and take a call on whether to spend any more time in this relationship. However she fears that if she goes to our village in Bihar, her husband/in-laws might try to file fake/forged cases in fear of any legal action from herShe has already called and informed police about today's incident and she has also informed her in-laws, who now live at a separate place. Is their any legal step that she should take before leaving?

Answer #2

There are a few remedies available to her if she wants to proceed legally. Leaving the matrimonial house doesn't legally require any pre-requisite steps or conditions and since you've already informed the police, it should not be much of a problem. Though, as per law, a person can compel their spouse to live with them where divorce or separation is not sought for.
