My husband has been physically hurting me, and it’s getting worse. Last night, he was really violent, and my 6-year-old daughter saw everything. This isn’t the first time I’ve called the police, but nothing seems to be working. He’s got a job in a private company. I’m scared, and I need help now. What can I do to make sure he stops hurting me and my daughter?

You can file a complaint with the police under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code for domestic violence and seek immediate protection under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. You can also approach a women’s shelter or a legal aid organization for assistance and guidance.
