I left my husband’s home in February 2013 and filed a domestic violence case in September 2015. I have evidence of his mistreatment, including police records from April 2014. Now, he’s trying to dismiss the case because of the time gap. The court hearing is in 25 days, and I want to fight for my rights. Will the court understand the courage it takes for a woman to take action against her husband? What should I do?

Under Indian law, the court considers the circumstances surrounding the delay in filing a domestic violence case, including factors like fear, societal pressure, and financial dependence. You should present your evidence and explain the reasons for the delay, emphasizing the fear and hardship you faced. You should consult with a lawyer to prepare a strong case and present it to the court.

My wife and I are both doctors, she’s an MBBS graduate, and we’ve been married for three years. We have a one-and-a-half-year-old daughter.
