My daughter married an NRI engineer in March 2013, but they were only together for a few weeks. She filed for divorce in March 2014 due to dowry harassment by her husband. The case is still in court, and his family isn’t cooperating. We recently learned that he married another woman in April 2016. I have recorded conversations proving this second marriage. Can I file a police complaint against him and his family? Is the police obligated to take action against them?

Yes, you can file a police complaint against your daughter’s husband and his family based on the recorded conversations proving his bigamous marriage. The police are obligated to take action and investigate the complaint, as bigamy is a criminal offense under Indian law.

My husband hid his drug addiction and previous divorce from me before our marriage. His family is now demanding money from my parents and took all my jewellery within a month. I filed a dowry complaint with proof of his drug use, but he responded with a divorce case and false accusations. The police haven’t resolved the matter yet. My parents spent a lot on our wedding, and his sister is also going through a divorce. I was treated like a servant, they never bought me anything, and even took the money my relatives gave me. He also physically abuses me, and my parents had to pay their electricity bills multiple times. I can’t live with him anymore, but my parents are unable to financially support me. Should I file a police report against them? What should I do? I’m so stressed and need help.
