Want to live separate from husband as he is harassing me physically


25-Dec-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I am a European woman married to a Hindu men since 23 April 2012. We have 2 daughters, one with 5 years and another with 3 years. I have been abused at several levels in this relationship and now I have no money to even pay a lawyer that can defend my cause. How can I get financial support for a layer and to move from living with him with legal protection? Thank you for your kind support.

From your question it is not clear whether your marriage is registered or not.If it is under the special marriage act you can approach the family court for the relief.If you are financially weak you can approach the legal aid centre for the assistance. You can file the criminal against him too.

Hai,
In India free legal aid is given only to citizens and who comes below the line of poverty. However the court have inherent power to appoint one to defend onez case. Being an European women most of the rights available for indian women are alien for u. yet u are eligible for getting maintenance for ur minor children. Also protection from harassment and other benefits are available from competent courts.
