My mother-in-law is being mistreated by her own son, who demands money and gets violent when he doesn’t get it. He’s 29 years old but doesn’t contribute to the family. We’re worried that if we report it to the police, they’ll only detain him for a short time, and he’ll become even more aggressive. What legal recourse do we have in India to protect her from this abuse? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Under Indian law, your mother-in-law can file a complaint for domestic violence against her son. This will provide her with legal protection, including a restraining order and the possibility of seeking maintenance from him. You should encourage her to seek legal counsel and support from a local women’s organization to navigate the legal process effectively.

We chose not to pursue legal action then, fearing the impact on her young daughter. In the note, she wished her daughter to be raised by her father. The child has been living with us since. Now, after three years, her father has taken the child without our knowledge. We regret not taking action earlier. Can we now use the suicide note to file a case against him and his family?
