Yes you can take protection too and I could suggest you lodge police complaint against her that whenever you visit your matrimonial house she’s not allowing you to enter and she’s troubling you and she’s giving threat tour life and she’s saying to leave the house and all you can take protection from her under section 12 of domestic violence Act, do that immediately.

Firslty, as per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that you have been subject to torture without any reason.

Secondly, till the time your in laws are not asking you to not to come to them till then no one can stop you from visiting there.

Thirdly, you may file a criminal case agaisnt her for wrongful restraiment.

Fourhtly, if police doesn’t do anything then go before the Magistrate in a complian case to registered FIR agaisnt her.

Once this is done, I am sure she won’t mess with you...!

Good Luck...!

Mam in this condition what I will suggest you before going court you should with some patience deal with the family use try working on relationship with mother in law help of.your husband and avoid sister in law for time.being.

Legally you can file a case.of domestic violence for.mental abuse against her and can take protection.order but that can ruin the relations further and can hamper.relationship among other family.members.

If things go out of hand then file a complaint against her in mahila police station or directly file a domestic violence case with magistrate and seek order against her.

Dear Client,

You can file criminal complain next item if she creates any strain, this way police will issue prohibition order and if she violated, police will proceed against her. And your mother is law can seek restrain order from court and even from police not to enter in her home if she complains.

You may file a case of domestic violence against your sister in law in the police station of your area of residence.

Please remember that the house is your matrimonial home and your husband may file a suit for the partition of the property.

Dear Madam,

Now the definition of woman under Domestic Violation Act is enlarged by Supreme Court you may file DV case and protection orders as follows:

All women in household deserve protection under PWDVA

22

When laws are made to satisfy whims of a few feminazis, the result is such litigation as in this Delhi case below. It is to the credit of few judges who come out with such judgments every once in a while which puts brakes on the onslaught unleashed by Domestic Violence industry. Some excerpts of the judgment are below followed by full text later:

The misuse and abuse of the Act is a

matter of serious concern for the courts who are required to be

careful and ensure that a woman petitioner is not made a puppet

or pawn in the hands of her male relatives so as to manipulate

the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005

and use it for ulterior motives.

At the very outset I may observe that merely because

the revisionist no.3 Smt. Sarika Mehta happen to be the real

sister of the husband of present respondent would not ipso-facto

imply a domestic relationship to the extent as contemplated

under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act,

2005 as she is residing separately with her own husband and

cannot be deemed to be a member of the shared household as a

joint family.

Making wild allegations against an unmarried sister-in-law of a

tender marriageable age by an estranged wife of brother

tentamounts to inflicting violence upon her and it is the duty of

the court to ensure that she is protected from the same.

1) Here you have to act very smartly and play the cards very appropriately in the house and prove your husband all allegations against which mother-in-law are raised whenever sister-in-law visit at your house.

All those allegations needs to make false against you.

suggest you before going court you should deal with the family, try working on relationship.

Legally you can file a case of domestic violence for mental abuse against her and can take protection order u/s 12 domestic violence act but that can ruin the relations

You may also file a complaint against her in police station.

Hello,

Yes you can file the case after 1 year also,

Just during the one year keep the matter alive by sending them letters to allow you to visit home, so that you can tell the court that you have been trying hard to resolve the matter amicably since last one year.

Yes it would be a wise decision.

At this point of time I would advise you to stay away only , filing in court at this moment can hamper relationship with husband also so avoid that.

Legally, you can file a domestic violence case against your mother in law and sister in law besides your husband seeking protection, residential rights and action against their tortures and also for return of your jewels and other articles.

But this step may strain your relationship with them further more hence you may better arrange for a meeting with elders of both sides to reconcile the issues and arrive art an amicable solution for this

As suggested by you that you have to stay away from them for few more months, you better do that.

The responsibility to get the girls married is not on your head, let them decide about it and do whatever they would like to in this regard.

You can help them when your help is required for them.

In my opinion, it will not be advisable to take any steps for solution through legal forum or law, it may create a permanent scar mark which may not be able to be erased in future too.
