What to do if friends father harasses his wife and his children


18-Jun-2023 (In Family Law)
I have a friend whose father is continuously harassing his wife and two children for no fault of theirs. He has a drinking problem and is abusive as well. He is hell-bent on making their lives miserable. He does this on a daily basis and threatens them as well. His psychotic behavior even led to a broken engagement of one of his children. He threatens them that if they take any action, then the consequences will be fatal. He is under depression but refuses to take professional help or his medicines. Please help!

Wife may file police complaint in women cell/ police station. She can also file court case against her husband under Domestic violence Act and or under Indian Penal Code. Legal action is the only remedy in such cases.

Hello. Kindly convey ur friend's wife to lodge a complaint at nearest women cell. They will call him and take further mandatory steps to ressolve the issue. Your friend's wife can also file a domestic violence case against her father in law and can get an injunction order from court.
Thank you.

Taking a step against our own family member is difficult but sometime becomes very necessary for the sake of ours. For the situation you have mentioned above, ask your friend to take legal action against his father through his mother against violence she's facing and for proper maintenance. Moreover your friend can also claim his share in the property of his father if the same is ancestral one. Detailed can be suggested only after a proper meeting.

Dear Client,
As per your case study, your friends father is harassing his wife and his children. Your friend or his wife should register an FIR against him for Harassment and violating right of woman.
