Jaldi karo

Ghar mein mere saath violence ho rahi hai. Kanoon meri kaise madad karta hai?

Simple answer

Abhi khatra hai toh turant 112 call karo. Domestic Violence Act har dharm ki us woman ko protect karta hai jise husband, partner ya saath rehne wale (ya reh chuke) family members sataate hain. Magistrate violence rokne, shared ghar mein rehne dene aur paise dilaane ka order de sakta hai.

Real-life examples

Kavita ka husband use thappad maarta hai aur saas beta na hone par roz taane deti hai. Maar-peet aur yeh taane, dono domestic violence hain. Protection Officer ki help se Kavita dono ke against Magistrate se protection order maangti hai.

Rehana ke sasural wale kehte hain ghar sasur ke naam hai aur use nikaalna chahte hain. Yeh uska shared household hai, isliye owner na hote hue bhi use wahan rehne ka haq hai, aur sirf legal process se hi hataya ja sakta hai.

68 saal ki Mohini ji ko unka adult beta peet-ta hai. DV Act sirf wives ko nahi, family mein rehne wali maa, behen aur widow ko bhi protect karta hai.

Aapko kya karna chahiye?

  1. 1Khatra ho toh 112 call karo ya safe jagah jao. Shelter, counselling aur One Stop Centre ke liye 181 (Women Helpline) call karo.
  2. 2Ilaaj karao aur doctor se injuries record karne ko kaho. Photos, messages aur gawahon ke naam aisi jagah rakho jahan abuser na pahunche.
  3. 3Apne district ke Protection Officer se (181, police ya court ke through) contact karo aur Domestic Incident Report (DIR) likhwao.
  4. 4DV Act Section 12 ke under Magistrate ko application do. Urgent interim order maango; pehli hearing usually 3 din ke andar hoti hai.
  5. 5Aap cruelty (BNS Section 85) ke liye police complaint bhi kar sakti ho. FIR ki free copy maango.
  6. 6Free lawyer ke liye NALSA ko 15100 par call karo.

Exceptions aur zaroori baatein

  • Is law mein victim ke taur par sirf woman application de sakti hai. Ghar mein violence face kar rahe men hurt ya threat jaise general criminal law use kar sakte hain.
  • Live-in partner tabhi cover hoti hai jab rishta 'shaadi jaisa' ho, jaise lambe time tak husband-wife ki tarah saath rehna.
  • DV Act ke orders aapko protect karte hain, par saza nahi dete. Saza ke liye alag criminal case, jaise BNS Section 85 mein cruelty, chahiye. Protection order todna khud ek crime hai.
