My 12-year marriage has been a nightmare. My husband’s alcoholism has made life unbearable for my 10-year-old daughter and me. In 2012, I filed complaints with the police and the CAW cell, but eventually agreed to reconcile. Sadly, nothing changed. Now, they are trying to force me and my daughter out of our home. I don’t want a divorce, but I need to stay safe. Can someone please help me find a way to stay in our home without facing further abuse?

Under Indian law, you have the right to reside in the matrimonial home even during separation or pending divorce. You can approach the court for a protection order against your husband and seek legal recourse to ensure your safety and that of your daughter. Consider reaching out to a lawyer or legal aid organization for advice and assistance.
