Mental Harrasment Section 498A


28-Mar-2023 (In Family Law)
I want to understand the law if a female who is going through a very tough time in her life and if she seems to be mentally harassed and can she seek for a divorce. I want to understand if she decides to raise her voice against what is happening to her what should be her first step, i.e. should she file in for a divorce first or lodge a complaint with the nearest police station - Will police officials entertain her/the complaint? Or they will just suggest sorting it out among the family? Can she also file a complaint with national commission for women? What if she is also forced to surrogate by donating her eggs ? Thank you for your help in advance.

approaching the police n women's commission first is a better idea. however they always try to shirk away from their responsibilities, so u have to be persistent. but as a lawyer my first advice to u will be to draft a complaint which cover your story and grief in complete detail and which make your case strong. rest is upto u. in case if u need any further advice u can call me anytime.
