Legal Options for Addressing Domestic Harassment and Pregnancy-Related
23-Jan-2025 (In Family Law)
After marriage, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law frequently triggered conflicts, and my husband never supported me. While I was pregnant, their behavior worsened, and during one incident, my sister-in-law tried to physically harm me, causing severe stress. This led to complications in my pregnancy, and the doctor advised an abortion. Their actions have deeply impacted my mental and physical health. It has been years, but I still feel the effects. What legal action can I take against them?

Considering the details provided appros, you can file a petition under DV against MIL and SIL seeking protection order, compensation etc for the reasons stated in your question.
You have not stated the status of your marriage ? Are you separated from the husband ? As filing of DV against in-laws will eventually turn your relationship sour with the husband. Are you planning to get divorce in future?

Well, you can still file a Domestic Violence Case against them under the DV Act, 2005, however, you have to state the reasons for approaching Court very lately. You can file a Criminal Case too under the concerned provisions of law.
