I got married in Delhi back in 2005 and my children were born there too. I’m currently living with my parents in Indore. I’m facing domestic violence from both my husband and mother-in-law and want to file a case. My family is struggling financially, so I’m hoping to file this case in Indore. Can you tell me if it’s possible to pursue this case in Indore, or if it needs to be filed in Delhi?

Under Indian law, you can file a domestic violence case in Indore, where you currently reside. The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, allows for cases to be filed in the place where the woman resides or where the act of violence occurred.

I’m trying my best to make things work, but he’s not coming home and his family is siding with him, making me feel like I’m trapped in my own house. It’s been a week now, and I’m living with his mother and brother, feeling like a prisoner. They aren’t even giving me proper meals, and my husband doesn’t care about my well-being or what I need.
