How can you file a complaint against domestic violence?

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?

My husband & mother in law abuse me & husband beaten me

Hello I’m alishka, Actually what happened, that today a random boy messaged me and asked me some questions and talked about some sex related things and I told him that I am not interested in all this and that boy started abusing me without any reason and started judging me on my status. so what do i do?

So, you can file an FIR under Section 79 of BNS that concerns with insulting the modesty of a woman. Under this Section, the state of the remark as being displayed ‘in any form’ will be relevant to the fact that this was online and also was intended to be seen by you. Since this is a cognizable offense under the First Schedule of the BNSS, 2023, you can directly approach a police station and file an FIR either in writing or orally which the police officer- in charge will be mandated to accept.

ನನ್ನನ್ನು ದೂಶೀ ಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ ನನಗೆ ಕೇಳುವ ಹಕ್ಕಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಕೀಳಾಗಿ ನೋಡುತಿದ್ದರೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಬಾಯಿಗೆ ಬಂದ ಹಾಗೆ ಬೈದು ಹಿಯಾಲಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದರೆ.

Hi,muzhe apne husband se bahut pareshani hai.woh drinks pi ke chub logo se aur mere saath bhi ladte hai.aap bahaeye ki mein kya karu

Mere shadi ko 3 saal hue hai .. mere pati roj drink karke aata hai or mujhe bolte hai k mere ghr se nikal ja matre bhi hai or gandi gandi galiya bhi dete hai

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.

Protection Officer ke paas jaane ke baad, ve aapko jis kshetra mein aap nivaas karte hain ya aapke saas-sasur nivaas karte hain ya jahan par ghar ke andar hinsa hui hai, uss area ke Magistrate ko Domestic Incident Report banana mein aapki madad karenge. Is report mein aapne jo bhi samasyaon ka samna kiya hai, uske saath-saath aapki maang ka vivaran hoga; aap is application ka ek muft copy apne paas rakh sakte hain aur Protection Officer aapki isme madad karega.

My husband torture me during pregnancy period mentally and physically.. his family also involve in this.

1) Under the new BNS, you have several remedies available for torture depending on the situation. Considering the situation: Section 117. Voluntarily causing Grievous Hurt may apply if it caused any permanent disability or even severe bodily pain. If you were subject to grievous hurt by a dangerous weapon then even Section 118 may apply. Since both Section 117 and 118 come under Cognizable offenses under the First Schedule of the BNSS, 2023, you can under Section 173 of the BNSS, file an FIR either orally or in writing to any police station regardless of where the crime was committed since the police under the new BNSS will be obligated to accept your FIR no matter what. 2) A case can also be filed under the Protection of Women from Domestic Abuse Act 2005, in the form of a Domestic Incident Report (DIR). This is to be done to the Protection Officer of your district who will record the DIR under Section 9 (1)(b) (2) of the Protection of Women from Domestic Abuse Act 2005. To access the Protection Officer, you can contact the State Women and Child Development Department where each state will have the list of Protection Officers on its website. You can also directly approach the Magistrate or a police officer to file a DIR.

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।

Sir plz help me

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

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.

You can file a domestic violence complaint following the steps given in the explainer above.

September 9, 2022

wife filed false complaint against me under domestic violence. she want i need to settle in her hometown with her parents so she use to go to her hometown and not coming back to my home. Now she is there with her parents since last 9 months and now i sent legal notice then she filed false complaint against me. what is solution

September 19, 2022

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.

Tank you for writing to Nyaaya and sharing your concerns with us. Here are some steps you can take:
1. First and foremost, send a detailed legal notice to your employer mentioning all the reasons why you are aggrieved. It is recommended that you send this legal notice within 90 days from the lapse of salary payment.
2. If you earned less than Rs 18,000 a month you can approach the labour commissioner to seek redressal.
3. Cases that come to the labour court must be decided upon within a three-month period. If the matter is not resolved by the labour commissioner the same can be pursued in a court of law by the employee.
4. If your salary is more than Rs 18,000 a month then you can pursue the matter in a civil court.

October 23, 2023

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!

October 24, 2023

Hi my name is Riya and I’m 17 yrs old my parents are very toxic and abusive they use to beat me and my brother who is 11yrs old a lot. If I say something against them they say that they will make me marry a guy and will not further continue my studies. They also bully me sexually as I am a little chubby(60kgs) they say that I’ve some sexual contact with my guy friends which is not true they are my friends and they treat me like their kid/sister. Iam preparing for neet and they always make me feel down by saying that you’ll not able to crack it. Right now at this point I am fed up with all this shit and thinking of ending up my life it’s only my friends who make me feel happy otherwise iam feeling suicidal at home all time

October 31, 2023

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.
