My sister endured ten years of torment in her marriage. Her husband, a heavy drinker, abused her physically, and his family relentlessly harassed her. After another brutal incident, I brought her home, but couldn’t get her two children with her. Her in-laws and husband started pressuring us for reconciliation, promising change. After weeks of pleading and longing for her children, she reluctantly returned on November 22nd, based on their assurances. However, on November 23rd, we learned she had attempted suicide by taking pills. We rushed her to the hospital, where she spent three days in intensive care. Thankfully, she survived and is now staying with me. We filed a police complaint on November 27th. What should we do next to ensure her safety and well-being?

You should file for a Protection Order under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, to ensure your sister’s safety. Additionally, you can seek legal counsel to pursue divorce proceedings and secure custody of the children, highlighting the ongoing abuse and her attempt at suicide.
