My husband’s family filed a 498 case against me, but I never gave a statement to the police. They got bail easily, and the next hearing is in six months. I’m struggling to find legal help; my father’s income is low, and even my lawyer charges a hefty fee just for signing a document. What can I do to get justice? It’s been almost two years, and the case hasn’t even started yet.

The fact that you haven’t given a statement to the police yet is significant. You should approach the court through a lawyer, explaining your situation. Seek legal aid from NGOs or organizations providing free legal assistance for women, as your father’s income may qualify you for such services.
