My wife and I have been married for almost a year, and we’re facing some personal challenges that we’re working through with therapy. Unfortunately, some of my wife’s relatives, especially her cousins, have been making inappropriate and hurtful comments, They’ve been drinking heavily and acting in a way that makes me concerned for my safety. I’m worried they might try to threaten or harm me. What legal options are available to me? Can I request protection from authorities? And can I seek support from people outside our family?

You can seek legal protection under the Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. File a complaint with the police detailing the threats and harassment, and consider approaching a lawyer for advice on obtaining a restraining order or other legal remedies. You can also confide in trusted friends, family members, or support groups for emotional and practical assistance.
