Quick relief, followed by a permanent alimony 125Crpc due to DV
19-Feb-2026 (In Divorce Law)
My mother (50) has been facing domestic violence in the form of psychological abuse; physical threats, snatching and verbal abuse by my sister (26). My father ( Old case filed ) had a past of Dv ( Availing Medical Documents for proof ). My sister is being used as a proxy by my father to abuse my mother even more. My mother is non earning. Multiple complaints has been done for my sister in DCW, and an open file at the police station as well. What are my options?
Your mother should file a petition under Section 12 of the DV Act seeking immediate Protection Orders (Section 18) and Residence Orders (Section 19) to prevent further abuse. Since she is non-earning, she can also claim monetary relief and maintenance. Use the existing DCW complaints and medical records as evidence of the prolonged history of abuse to seek urgent interim relief from the Magistrate.

First option is you send the complaint against your sister in the upper hierarchy of the police. Second you can move a 156(3) CrPC application for registration of FIR and monitoring of investigation.
Third you can also file an application against your sister for quick relief before the nearest district magistrate under senior citizens act in case your mother is 60 years of age.

Hi there, yes she can file a petition in court for relief from domestic violence.
It's going to be tough but can be taken further by strong representation.
It's advisable to contact me and provide more details regarding the abuse she has been facing and details the father's case.
