Hello experts I am asking this i n regards with my sister's unsuccessful marriage. My younger sister has been married for six years now and behaviour of her husband towards her has been remained unrespectfull. Before her marriage in 2010 she was employed with the state government job on adhoc basis and had solid chance of getting a permanent job but after marriage her husband forced her and totured her mentally to leave her job and sit at home. He, since starting had been putting questions on her character and even stopping her to take kids for a walk in colony or by standing on the terrace/balcony of their residence. She has been suffering this mental torture right from starting her marriage. Her husband even once beat his 4 years old daughter for talking to a BOY of her class after school time, questioning his own 4 years old daughter's character. He even sold all gold of my sister on the basis to help his brothers' family. He continued to stop her from working anywhere and from letting her become financially self dependent. Situation is now that my sister has an opportunity of a respected government job but her husband is still prohibiting her from taking the opportunity. When she expressed her desire he asked her to get out of his home with the kids and never to return. When he first did it three months back , i thought about giving that person a second chance and took my sister and her kids back to her husband's home. But now he has done same once again and this time my sister has compltely refused to stay with that man and wants to move out of this marriage legally . She also wants to teach him a lesson as he has ruined her whole life. My sister and her kids are staying with me at my home for last one month now. 4 days ago someone rang my door bell and said from outside the gate , "sir, it is ur luggage", and ran away. This happened at 12 AM. I went out and found that there were 4 bags lying on my gate's ramp. I did nt take the bags inside my home and with a thought of looking into the matter the following morning, i went to sleep. After that two police constables who were on night duty saw the bags outside my gate and rang my doorbell at 3AM. When i went out and explained them the whole situation, they searched the bags and thus we came to know that it was my sister and her kid's luggage, whixh was put there by her husband. It also contained a letter by her husband to my sister. Now i really am helpless. I have no idea how to get my sister out of this marriage and let her make her two daughters' future secure. Hopefully she will get her government job in two to three months. Please guide me. Thanks and regards Kuldeep bhatt

Since that incidence of that night i am also scared of her husband's behaviour towards my sister and my family. I assume threat from him because of his hyper nature since if a man can do such things in night he can also come up with more such ideas that can mentally harass me and my family. I also want to know the best way to get my sister out of this as quickly as possible as her husband's behaviour is suspicious and might cause dangers to her and kids.
1) your sister should file DV case against her husband and seek protection order ,maintenance for herself and children , compensation for mental torture undergone by her
2) also file case under section 496, 498A of IPC and seek return of her streedhan , punishment for continuous acts of cruelty
3) also file for divorce on grounds of mental cruelty and seek custody of children
Your sister can seek alimony from husband and maintenance fir kids on divorce case
File DV /498A case as advised
1. Inform this incident to the local police and you can name your brother in alw in the complaint.
2.it is notclear what does your sisiter want as reagrds this amrriage.
3.If she wants to work out this marriage then she will have to stay with her husband and settle the dispute amicably.

Thnx experts Please tell me how and where should i file this case of DV and 498a/406 as i am not sure whether i should directly hire a local lawyer or dhould go to the local police. After that last incidence i went to my local police chowky to file a complaint against my brother in law but they refused to take the complaint and asked me to go to the women help cell of SSP office. Please guide me about the procedures of filing complaint . Sir, please tell me that if it is true that i should wait for atleast six months before filing any kind of complaint as the judge will discard our complaint and will ask us to file it after six months. Please make me clear about the basic facts about it and step by step procedure. Thanks
