Hi, your sister has to file a petition under section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code for maintenance as her husband and failed and neglected to maintain his wife and children.
2. It is the duty of the husband to maintain his wife and children so if you don't want to go for police complaint then your sister can file this petition before the court.
1) your sister should file domestic violence case against her husband and seek maintenance for herself and the children .also seek alternative accommodation as he has sold the house
2) husband is bound to maintain his wife and children
3) in the alternative your sister can seek maintenance under section 125 cr pc from her husband
Hello,
1) If your sister is not employed and had no means to support herself she can file a case seeking maintenance for herself including her medical expenses. No police complaint of required.
2) As the children are above 18 years they are majors and not entitled to claim maintenance.
3) Contact a lawyer locally who can move the petition seeking maintenance.
1. Your sister can file case of maintenance under PWDV Act wherein he will be directed provide maintenance both for your sister and the children.
2. Id any property left in the name of her husband , your sister can even seek injunction on it so the same may not be sold away.
3.That apart she can lodge complaint with police against her physical and mental tortures if ant.
Your sister should not ignore his irresponsible attitude anymore and she should seek justice be demanding maintenance amount from him directly, if he refuses or issues threats or indulging into any violent activity against her, she should not lie low and endure all the humiliations anymore. She should resort to legal action against her husband demanding maintenance through court of law.
There is nothing to worry anymore in this regard because the law in this respect is favoring women.
