How can you file a complaint against domestic violence?

Home / Legal Explainers / Crimes & Violence / Family Related Violence / Domestic Violence / How can you file a complaint against domestic violence?

[Trigger Warning: The following content contains information on domestic violence which some readers may find disturbing.]

You or anyone on your behalf, can approach the authorities listed below to file a complaint against any domestic violence that you have been facing:

Police

Go to the Police Station

You can approach the police station in your area, or any other police station, and file a complaint for domestic violence. The police will file a DIR/FIR and/or direct you to the Protection Officer of the district who will be able to help you out further.

Protection Officer

Approach the Protection Officer

To file a complaint, the Protection Officer of the district will be the first point of contact for you. The Protection Officer will help you file a Domestic Incident Report (DIR), make applications to the Court to get you monetary relief, protection etc. A state-by-state list of Protection Officers is given here. If you cannot find the Protection Officer of your area, you can reach out to NGOs, civil society organizations and service providers who will put you in touch with one.

National and State Commissions for Women

Approach the National/State Commission for Women

National Commission for Women (NCW) is a national-level government organization that is empowered to investigate complaints related to issues faced by women, such as domestic violence, dowry harassment, rape, etc. The NCW will help you by:

Monitoring and expediting the investigations being led by the police.
Providing counselling or a hearing before the NCW, so that the dispute can be resolved between the two parties.
Constituting an Inquiry Committee which makes spot inquiries, examines witnesses, collects evidence and submits the report with recommendations regarding the domestic violence.

You can get in touch with them by either calling the helpline number 1091, or sending an email to ncw@nic.in or filing an online complaint. As the NCW is located in New Delhi, you can approach the State Commission of Women situated in your state, and ask them for help.

Some states provide handbooks for ASHA workers where you can find more information on forms on violence, where it can happen and how to file a complaint to seek protection against domestic violence. For example, see this handbook published for ASHA in Chattisgarh, Delhi, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

আসসালামুয়ালাইকুম,স্যার আমি বাংলাদেশে থেকে বলছি। আমার এক বোন থাকে ক্যেলিফোনিয়া তার দুটি সন্তান রয়েছে। তার স্বামী তাকে পাগল বলে তার থেকে তার সন্তানদের নিয়ে তাকে বাসায় একা ফেলে চলে গেছে। সে বাচ্চাদের অনেক ভালবাসে। সে বাচ্চাদের শাসন করত একটু জোরে কথা বলত। এখন তার স্বামী আরেকটি বিয়ে করবে ও তাকে ডিভোর্স দিয়ে দিতে চাচ্ছে। এক বৎসর সে আমার বোন কে ডিভোর্স দেয়ার প্লেন করে তাকে ভালবাসার অভিনয় করে। এখন আমরা অনেক দূরে থাকি আপনাদের আমেরিকা তে কি ভাবে আমার বোন আইনী সহায়তা পাব? একটু জানতে চাই?

यह स्थिति घरेलू हिंसा, मौखिक अपमान, शारीरिक हानि की धमकियाँ, और द्वेषपूर्ण माहौल बनाने के अपराधों को शामिल करती है। भारतीय कानूनके तहत इन अपराधों को संबोधित करने के लिए उपाय उपलब्ध हैं। पीड़ित व्यक्तियों को पुलिस में शिकायत दर्ज करनी चाहिए, विशेष रूप से घरेलूहिंसा के मामलों के लिए महिला सेल या घरेलू हिंसा मामलों के लिए विशेष इकाई। शिकायत में हिंसा, धमकियाँ, और हिंसा की घटनाओं काविस्तार से विवरण होना चाहिए।
संरक्षण आदेश: शिकायत दर्ज करने के बाद, पीड़ित व्यक्तियों को न्यायालय से संरक्षण आदेश मांग सकते हैं, जो उन्हें अब और संपर्क करने से रोकसकता है।

आश्रय खोजना: तत्काल खतरे के मामलों में, पीड़ित व्यक्तियाँ सरकार द्वारा संचालित आश्रयों या गैर सरकारी संगठनों में आश्रय ढूंढ सकती हैं। कानूनी कार्रवाई: पीड़ित व्यक्तियाँ घटनाओं के खिलाफ कानूनी कार्रवाई कर सकती हैं, जैसे कि महिलाओं की संरक्षा के लिए घरेलू हिंसा अधिनियम, 2005, भारतीय दंड संहिता (आईपीसी) के धाराओं के तहत हमले, धमकियाँ, और अपराध की धमकी, साथ ही अन्य संबंधित कानूनों के तहत।

परामर्श और सहारा: पीड़ित व्यक्तियाँ संत्रस्तता से निपटने के लिए सरकारी एजेंसियों, गैर सरकारी संगठनों, या मानसिक स्वास्थ्य पेशेवरों द्वारा प्रदानकिए जाने वाले परामर्श और सहारा सेवाओं की खोज कर सकती हैं।

विवाह या अलगाव: अत्यधिक मामलों में, जहां कानूनी हस्तक्षेप के बावजूद हिंसा जारी रहती है, पीड़ित व्यक्तियाँ विवाह या कानूनी अलगाव कीतलाश कर सकती हैं ताकि उनकी दीर्घकालिक सुरक्षा और कल्याण सुनिश्चित हो सके।

यह उल्लिखित है कि पीड़ित व्यक्तियों की सुरक्षा और कल्याण सुनिश्चित करने के लिए प्रासंगिक अधिकारियों और संगठनों से सहायता और समर्थनलेना महत्वपूर्ण है।

Hi,

I need support from you for my mother and my family against my father. He is a very toxic and threatening person. We have been living separately from him for 10 years because he beat my mother badly, and at that time, we filed a complaint against him. However, no strong action was taken by the police. Now, he frequently comes to our relatives and abuses us, giving many threats that he will kill us if he finds us. We are living separately, but he doesn’t know where, and he is desperately searching for us.

I am the elder son of my mother, and I have two sisters. The whole family depends on me. If I lose my job because of this, we will have nothing. We don’t want to confront him face to face because we don’t know what he will do afterward. He may follow us and definitely do something harmful to my family. So, I would like to request your help.

In case of a woman, you can call the helpline num. 1090 (National Woman Helpline) or your state’s helpline number related to the same, which can be found [https://www.indiacustomercare.com/women-helpline-numbers.
These can be helpful in case of any emergency situation that may arise involving threats from your father.
You can choose any of the below: 1. File a case under Section 503 (Criminal Intimidation) of IPC as your father is threatening to kill or injure you or your family and injure your family’s reputation. 2. You can file for a protection order under section 18 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 seeking restrain on your father from entering the place of residence of your mother and sisters. Since there have been prior instances of domestic violence being inflicted on your mother, this protection can be obtained despite the fact of seperate residence for the last 10 years. 2. Your mother may choose to file for divorce since this will lead to legal separation and you can even file for restraining orders from the court during divorce proceedings. Grounds for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 based on your situation are the following: a. Section 13(1)(ia) (Divorce on Grounds of Cruelty) – Since your father’s threatening behaviour towards your mother and your family amounts to cruelty you can choose to file for divorce under this section. b. Section 13(1)(ib) (Desertion) – Establish that your father has deserted your family without reasonable cause for a continuous period of two years.

घरेलू हिंसा की शिकायत करने का प्रोसेस:-
(1) सबसे पहले पीड़िता को पुलिस स्टेशन या कोर्ट में कम्प्लेन करानी होगी।

(2) इसके बाद, जिस व्यक्ति के खिलाफ कम्प्लेन फाइल हुई है, उसको कोर्ट द्वारा बुलाया जायेगा।

(3) इसके बाद कोर्ट के जज समझेंगे कि दोषी की गलती है या नहीं। और अगर है, तो कितनी गलती है। इसके आधार पर कोर्ट तय करेगी कि पीड़िता को मेंटेनेंस मिलना चाहिए या नहीं।

(4) इसके बाद, कोर्ट दोषी की आर्थिक स्तिथि को ध्यान में रखकर तय करेगी कि पीड़िता को कितना मेंटेनेंस मिलेगा और सुबूतों के आधार पर अपना फाइनल डिसीज़न करेगी।

Can i file a case against my father who was trying to kill my mom..?

Alka Manral

April 30, 2024

The following laws can be made applicable – IPC, and the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005.
First, IPC
a) A charge under 498A against cruelty by husband can be made. Since it is an attempt to murder case causing grave injury or danger to the limb and life of the mother, a claim under S. 489A could also be filed. You, being a relative of your mother, can file a complaint against your father under this section.

b) You can file a case for attempt to murder under IPC Section 307. Section 307 criminalizes an attempt to murder. It is necessary to be proved that the act needs was done with intention or knowledge and the act would have in ordinary course led to death. Here, in term of punishment, the father could be subjected to imprisonment upto 10 years and a fine if no harm is caused and it could be extended to life imprisonment if hurt is caused to the mother.

c) A charge under S 324 could also be made depending on the means by which such an attempt was undertaken. If it was by dangerous weapons and means, then a charge under section 324 could also succeed.

Second, a complaint can be filed under the DV Act as well.
The DV Act covers physical abuse within its ambit. Since the act here endangers the life of the mother causing physical abuse, it would constitute domestic violence under Section 3 of the Act.
You having the knowledge or reason to believe that such an offense has been committed (Section 4) can approach a Police officer, Protection Officers or Service Provider or Magistrate. The father could be subjected to restriction orders, or monetary relief, or compensation among other reliefs.

Your husband has committed offence under section 494 of Indian Penal Code when he has married to another woman whereas previously he married you, and his family is liable under section 498A of Indian Penal Code when they have beaten you. When police officers are not writing down the FIR you may approach the magistrate under Section 198A of Criminal Procedure Code where he will direct the police officers to write your report and will proceed further.

If a false case is registered by a wife on her husband than two things can be done, namely, at first to defend yourself and wait for the judgement from the court or to file a counter case on your wife. Both can be further explained. If you are ready for defence (husband), then at first you require to safeguard yourself and family from being arrested on false allegations by filing or getting an anticipatory bail or any other such thing that totally depends on the situation at that time. Further one need to collect as many proves as possible to protect themselves for example call records, mails, photographs, messages, statements of neighbours and localities and many such things. Collecting evidence on not taking dowry and that the wife has moved out from the bond of marriage without any valid reason. The evidence will help during anticipatory bail or on getting notice of bail from the court.
You can even file a complaint on the grounds of Restitution of Conjugal Rights RCR, if the wife has left the husband’s place without any valid reasons and before she comes back the husband can lay down various conditions too for peaceful living.
Section 120B of Indian Penal Code 1860, talks about punishment for criminal conspiracy, where if there is a false case registered then the husband can file a case against his wife under this section as her intentions are to commit a crime against you.

My dad was working as a driver cum technician to a person in my village in his water purification plant.
The owner failed to pay dad’s salary and delayed almost for two years.
There is no proof to show the police that is maintained in the water plant. All most 6 laks he was supposed to pay out of which he paid in small amount each month in total of Rs 1,40,000. Balance amount is cheating now and not ready to settle the amount. Inspite of all these he has given multiple complaints against dad stating false allegations.

We are helpless now. Dad’s literally worried about it. Being a middle class family it’s a huge amount for us.

Can you suggest me if we could do something about it.

I’m a female of 25 years old and I’m a working professional. I’m currently living with my mother where she is being Narcissistic as involving in every matters and doesn’t giving me space and keeping on controlling me and my things as per her liking. She neither tried to understand me nor trusted me. She keeping on doing the things which making me more traumatized by verbal and physical abuse. My father didn’t cared me if I being okay emotionally and everytime he believed the stories made my mother against me. He neither questioned as is it true? Nor consoled me…

Recently I have had enough trauma and I dared to speak that I’m moving out and live by my own and help you out financially. But they refused and kept me locked. My mother immediately called her brother (maternal uncle) and he immediately landing into my house dragged my hand and hold on tightly back of my hair and neck and threatened me. What making me more painful is my mother stood there and watched as if nothing is happening like it’s normal thing to do. After that I dared to cal the police to help me to move out my parents house but the police came and listened to mother stories and barely talked with me even though I showed them the bruises I had. The police left saying I need immediate treatment from psychologist.

I don’t know whom to approach and seek for help. Even the law is not helping me even though I’m a major. I’m starving myself as I don’t want to live with trauma and abuse. I have sleep problems and when I think of these abusive times I will get a breathing problem.

Please help me to move out from abusive toxic mother’s house. PLEASE!

I am married for last 5 yrs. My wife and her parents forced me for the marriage and one day took me to the court without my knowledge and registered the marriage in court.. where nobody was present from my side.. after 1 yr my family came to know.. and then they decided to public this marriage with a formal function. After marriage my wife started misbehaving with me and my family and she state at my place only for one month. After that on her demand i shifted to the different city and left my old widow mother alone. I used to work abroad. My bank details.. and ATM card everything was kept at home and she used to transfer money to her parents and her brothers account.. spend unnecessarily… As much as she can. Whenever I used to come home she used to torture me and asked me to go back and join back early. We both were not physically active because everytime I tried she used toh say I am not interested. She never gets feeling. She is a lesbian I came to know later. She used to torture me when I used to talked to my mother or sisters. Now she asked me toh shift to her parents place. I got afraid that when I am staying at my place my wife and her family torturing me so much what will happen if I shift to her parents house permanently. I will become a slave. When I said no she called her brother took all the stuff..car.. scooty.. everything.. vacant the flat and went to her parents place.. I was out of station when she did this..when I came home.. nothing was there.. Finally after 5 yrs when I got fed-up I filed a divorce case against her. After getting this news she put all the false allegations against me and my family saying me and my family tortured her everytime.. but she was always staying in a different city. I used to stay abroad.. my sister’s and mother is staying in a different city.. my wife never stayed at my parents house. How can they torture her. She said we demanded dowry.. and her father gave me lakhs of rupees in dowry. She always forced me to buy everything on her name and I also didn’t deny just wanted to make her happy. But she took everything and now saying that her parents gave money for all this. I have full statement showing that i bought each and everything. Just to demand a big amount of allemony she connected my name with my colleague and she is making issue of this matter to demand allemony. There is no proof which shows that me and my colleague are in relationship.. she is just my known and helped me few times. My wife has put so many allegations on me after doing all these things with me and after taking everything. I have lost my job too because my wife send a letter to my office stating all these allegations and without any enquiry my office didn’t want to take chance they terminated me. I have no job.. no money.. nothing to stay. And now also she is filing so many cases against me. What should I do.

I am suffering from harrasment from my wife for the last 20 years. Few of them are: 1) She does not allow me to have my cell phone. I have to keep begging her to make call, or receive OTPs for Bank and other transactions. (2) She does not allow me to go out for a walk (3) She does not allow me to attend any Yoga class, or technical or any courses (4) She does not allow me to go for any work. All that she wants is lock me in a room whole day and night. Even after this, she accuses me having affair with someone and utter unparliamantery words. I have been tolerating this and many more for the sake of my children. Now all of them are settled abroad. As I no more can tolerate this, and cannot get out of the house, I am seeking your help please!

I’m really sorry to hear about the situation you’re facing. The behavior you’ve described amounts to mental and emotional abuse, which is a serious offense under Indian law. Here are some steps you can take:
Seek Support: It’s important to reach out to friends, family, or support groups who can provide emotional support during this difficult time. You don’t have to go through this alone.
Consult a Lawyer: Consider consulting with a lawyer who specializes in family law or domestic violence. They can provide legal advice on your options and guide you through the process of seeking help.
File a Complaint: You have the right to seek protection from abuse. You can file a complaint with the police or approach a local women’s helpline or counseling center for assistance. The police can take action against your wife under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005.
Obtain a Protection Order: You can apply for a protection order under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, which can restrain your wife from committing any further acts of abuse and provide you with necessary relief.
Consider Counseling: Family counseling or mediation may also be helpful in resolving conflicts and improving communication within the family. However, if the abuse is severe, counseling may not be effective, and your safety should be the priority.
Document Evidence: Keep records of any incidents of abuse, including dates, times, and details of what happened. This documentation can be useful if you decide to take legal action.
Remember, you have the right to live free from abuse and violence. Don’t hesitate to take steps to protect yourself and seek help from appropriate authorities and support services. You deserve to live a life of dignity and respect.

My sister was beaten by her husband only after 2 motnhs of marraige. She then decided to leave and cam back to maiden place expecting that the husband learns from his mistake and will call her back. Instead he filed a case for divorce within 6 months and is trying to settle it without any compensation. We did not file any case against him for a year.

You can file a complaint under Section 498A IPC and as per the Domestic Violence Act. You can approach any police station and file complaint for domestic violence. They will direct you to a Protection Officer who can help you further.

By filing a criminal case, the harasser would be punished for the act of violence committed with jail-time and a fine. Your lawyer must inform the Court that both the cases have been filed. A criminal case can be filed for the following reasons:
• If the harasser drives a woman to commit suicide .
• If the harasser causes or tries to cause any grave injury to the woman or danger to the life or health of a woman.
• If the harasser affects the mental health of a woman to such a degree that it is a danger to her life.
• If the harasser through any words or physical actions causes any mental stress or psychological distress to the woman.
• If the harasser forces a woman to give dowry or unlawful demand for any property or valuable security.

Alka Manral

First, record and document any type of conversation or evidence that shows that your sister has been beaten and abused by her husband. There is no limitation provided for filing a complaint under Section 12 of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 and Section 498A for cruelty, so you can go ahead and file an FIR in any police station nearby. Under law, this FIR can be filed by the aggrevated woman or any of her relative.
Second, in the issue of divorce without compensation, the husband cannot refuse if the court compels him to pay unless your sister is re-married. With alimony, it is paid by the higher earning partner. So, if your sister earns more, the court will probably not award any alimony.

When you appraoch the police then a DIR (Domestic Incident Report) will be filed, the police officer in charge would immediately send a report to the concerned Magistrate, and go (or depute to the spot where the offence has been committed. They investigate the facts and circumstances of the case, and if necessary, take measures for the discovery and arrest of the offender. After receiving the report, the concerned Magistrate can either Direct an investigation; Immediately proceed with a preliminary inquiry into the case; or Dispose of the case. Thereafter, an investigation and search take place after which the chargesheet is filed and then finally the trial takes place. Also section 4 of the DV Act provides anyone having information regarding domestic violence can report to the police. So it doesn’t necessarily has to be the wife.

You have the option to vacate your husband’s home. You may also seek a shelter home under the DV Act and seek maintenance from him as well.

You are a victim of domestic violence, and your husband and his family members are mistreating you. You are from Bihar, and it appears that you are not being provided with food or water, and your husband is not communicating with you. You were thrown out of the house, and you sought help from the 112 emergency service, which temporarily resolved the situation. However, you are still afraid that your husband’s family members may harm you.
Here are some steps you can take to protect yourself and seek help:
Contact the local police: If you feel threatened or in danger, reach out to the local police station immediately. Explain your situation and ask for protection.
Contact a women’s helpline: Call the Women’s Helpline at 181 (Women in Distress Helpline) or 1091 (National Commission for Women Helpline) to seek help and support. They can provide guidance and assistance, including connecting you with counselors, legal aid, and shelter services.
Reach out to a local NGO or women’s organization: Many organizations work to help women in distress. Look for a local NGO or women’s organization in your area and contact them for support.

Section 13(1)(ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act,1956 allows both the wife and the husband to seek a divorce by alleging that their spouse has subjected them to cruelty after marriage. Therefore, even though there is no specific punishment for cruelty against husbands (other than the general penal provisions related to battery and assault, and IPC provisions on causing hurt/grievous hurt), the law recognises such cruelty as a ground for the husband to seek divorce. The instances that you have faced can constitute cruelty and you can file for divorce under your personal law. Further, if you want to file a police complaint, you can go to the police station and file an FIR under sections 319 to 326 (Causing hurt and grievous hurt).

Agar aapko jabardasti shaadi karwane ki koshish ki ja rahi hai, to aap kuch steps follow kar sakte hain:

1. Mahila Police Cell se Contact Karein: Apne shehar ki mahila police cell se sampark karein. Aapko us jagah ki details, jabardasti shaadi karwane wale vyakti ke baare mein likhit shikayat karni hogi, saath hi jagah aur tareekh bhi mention karein.
2. PWDW Act ke Tahat Domestic Violence ki Shikayat Darj Karein: Aap PWDVA, 2005 ke tahat apne mata-pita ya kisi aur parivarik sadasya ke khilaf domestic violence ka mukadma court mein darj kar sakte hain. Nyayadhish temporary restraining order jaari kar sakte hain jo aapko jabardasti shaadi se bachayega.
3.National Commission for Women se Sampark Karein: Aap apne vivahadhikar ki ulangan ke baare mein rashtriya mahila aayog mein shikayat darj kar sakte hain.
4. Vivah Ka Rad Adhikarik Taur Par Court Mein Mangwaayein: Agar shaadi ho chuki hai toh ek saal ke bhitar, aap court mein vivah ka rad mangwa sakte hain. Aapke vivahadhikar ka durupyog ya dabav ke karan, ek nullity decree ke tahat shaadi rad ho sakti hai. Parivarik nyayalay aise mamle sunne aur samapt karne ke liye sthapit kiye gaye hain.

Yeh kadam uthakar aap apne vivahadhikar ko bacha sakte hain aur apne swatantra chunav ka anubhav kar sakte hain. Agar aapko kisi bhi prakar ki madad ya salah chahiye, toh kripya ek mahila salahkaar se bhi sampark kar sakte hain.
