My sister, who got married last February, has been facing domestic violence due to dowry demands. They separated four months ago. Unfortunately, she was delayed in filing a case due to work commitments. I’m seeking guidance on writing an FIR, the filing process, and where to send copies for faster action. Additionally, can she file the FIR in a printed format?

Your sister can file an FIR under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code for dowry harassment. She can file it at the nearest police station or through the online portal of the concerned state. While filing a printed format is possible, it’s advisable to contact the police station for confirmation on their acceptance.

He meets our son on weekends but refuses to take any responsibility. He still has all my jewelry. I’m struggling financially, and any help would allow me to better support my son. People are disrespecting me, and he won’t even consider a divorce. I need guidance on transferring the life insurance policies, getting a divorce, and finding educational resources for my son.
