There is no provision of jail. After breach of protection order FIR can be registered against Respondents in which you can think about jail. So first of all you have to get protection order from the court. Thanku

sir, domestic violence act is quasi criminal act in which there is no direct provision for jail/civil imprisonment of respondents but in case of huge arrears of maintenance pendency, your wife can invoke execution petition for that arrears in that case judge has descretion to send you in jail..if you have good lawyer dont worry about that..it is advisable to deposit some amount of maintenance in court.
