आपकी मां भले ही कोर्ट में घरेलू हिंसा साबित न कर पाईं हों, लेकिन उनका स्वतंत्र रूप से जीवन जीने का अधिकार भारतीय संविधान और कानून दोनों द्वारा सुरक्षित है। Section 9 Hindu Marriage Act (Restitution of Conjugal Rights) केवल एक वैवाहिक अनुरोध है कि पत्नी वापस साथ रहे — यह आदेश बाध्यकारी नहीं है, और जबरदस्ती साथ रहने के लिए मजबूर नहीं किया जा सकता, विशेषकर तब जब महिला को अपनी सुरक्षा या मानसिक स्वास्थ्य को लेकर खतरा हो।
यदि आपकी मां अपने पति के साथ नहीं रहना चाहतीं, तो वह स्वतंत्र रूप से अलग रह सकती हैं, भले ही उन्हें भरण-पोषण या कोई संपत्ति दावा न करना हो। किसी महिला को केवल इस आधार पर जबरदस्ती साथ रहने के लिए मजबूर नहीं किया जा सकता कि वह विवाहिता है और वह कोर्ट में मानसिक या शारीरिक हिंसा साबित नहीं कर सकी।
Supreme Court ने कई मामलों में स्पष्ट किया है कि एक महिला की गरिमा, स्वतंत्रता और मानसिक शांति का अधिकार विवाह के बाद भी बना रहता है।
आपकी मां चाहें तो पुनः घरेलू हिंसा अधिनियम या दंड प्रक्रिया संहिता की धारा 125 के तहत अलग से याचिका दाखिल कर सकती हैं यदि उन्हें मानसिक उत्पीड़न, खतरा या डर है।
उन्हें निडर होकर कानून की सहायता लेनी चाहिए। ज़रूरी हो तो वे महिला आयोग या पुलिस को अपनी सुरक्षा के लिए सूचित भी कर सकती हैं।

Your mother can live separately. section 9 only proves that your father is ready to live with her. And your father didn't abandon her. this order doesn't compel your mother to live with him. If your mother didn't comply section 9 order, the only consequences is that there will be arises some diffidently to gain alimony. And this can be a valid ground for divorce.

6. Practical Legal Steps for Your Mother
1. Written Representation to SSP / DM: Ki unhe pati ke saath zabardasti bhejne ki koshish na ho, kyunki jaan ko khatra hai.
2. Stay Order Application (if needed): Agar husband zabardasti ghar le jaane aaye to, Civil Court me injunction application file karo.
3. Separate Residence: DV Act ka Section 17 wife ko “right to reside in a shared household” deta hai. Agar wo ghar husband ke saath nahi rehna chahti, to alag accommodation choose kar sakti hai.
4. Affidavit in Court: Ki unhe koi alimony/maintenance nahi chahiye, bas suraksha aur alag jeene ka haq chahiye.
5. Emergency Protection: Agar harassment continue hoti hai to High Court me writ petition under Article 226 (Right to Life & Liberty) file ki ja sakti hai.

Here’s a suitable response you can post:
Your mother cannot be forced to live with your father against her will. Even if the DV case was dismissed, she still has the right to live separately for her safety and peace of mind. Section 9 (Restitution of Conjugal Rights) is not an order for “physical force” – the court cannot drag her back to his house. If there is threat to her life, she can approach police under IPC sections for protection, or file fresh DV/Section 498A case with stronger evidence. She can also file for judicial separation or divorce again – dismissal of one case doesn’t end her right to file afresh. Every person has the fundamental right to live with dignity and safety under Article 21 of the Constitution.
