My wedding to an NRI took place in August 2012. He returned to the UK after the ceremony, as my visa took time to process. During this period, I lived with his parents in Visakhapatnam. Sadly, I endured constant torment from his mother who accused me of bringing insufficient dowry. She often deprived me of food, forcing me to endure these hardships. When my visa finally arrived, his sister and her husband offered to accompany me to the UK, claiming he had secured a job there. However, I soon discovered this was untrue. From that moment, she began relentlessly harassing me about every aspect of our life in the UK. I later became pregnant, and she attempted to sabotage my pregnancy in various ways. Eventually, I returned to India for the delivery.

Based on the information provided, you might have grounds to file a case for domestic violence against your husband’s mother and sister under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. You could also consider filing a complaint against them for dowry harassment under the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961.
