My daughter, who is part of a Hindu family, has been facing mental and sometimes physical abuse from her husband and his sisters. Unfortunately, these incidents occur behind closed doors, making it difficult to gather evidence. What legal options are available in such a situation?

In India, your daughter can file a complaint with the police under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005, which covers mental and physical abuse. She can also seek a protection order against her husband and his sisters, barring them from harassing her. While physical evidence is helpful, her testimony and other corroborating evidence can be considered in court.
