My wife has filed a case against me under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005. The first hearing was today, and the judge has asked me to submit a written statement. I’m handling this case without a lawyer and want to make sure I present my side properly. Can you advise me on what to include in my written statement, considering the Delhi Karkardooma Court requires me to also send copies to my wife and her lawyer?

In your written statement, clearly deny the allegations of domestic violence and state your version of events. Be factual, avoid emotional language, and provide any evidence you have to support your claims. Ensure your statement is clear, concise, and grammatically correct, as it will be submitted to the court and shared with your wife and her lawyer.

They insist she washes utensils and won’t even allow her an egg, claiming that my older niece-in-law handles all the household chores. My niece’s husband doesn’t stand up for her. He’s been quiet for three months. She wants to file for divorce and domestic violence. What are the grounds and process for filing such a case in India?

My husband’s family misled us about his job and salary during our marriage discussions. We agreed to a certain dowry, which we paid in full, but they constantly complained about receiving “too little.” After the birth of our daughter, they started blaming me for her arrival and pressuring my husband for money from my family, demanding access to my salary, and seeking other benefits from my parents. This harassment escalated into physical abuse from my husband, influenced by his mother. I’m currently staying with my parents. What can I do to seek justice?
