Seeking Justice Through LegalRaahi's Domestic Violence Lawyers

Overview of Domestic Violence

Domestic violence continues to plague our society, affecting countless women in various forms. It is a grave crime that should never go unpunished. Hiring an experienced Domestic Violence Lawyer is often the most effective way to find justice and peace of mind. In India, the primary legislation aimed at providing justice to aggrieved women is the Domestic Violence Act, enacted in 2005. LegalRaahi, with its dedicated team of lawyers, stands ready to assist and empower women seeking protection against domestic violence.

What Comes Under Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence is not limited to physical abuse. It encompasses any act, omission, commission, or conduct that:

Harms, endangers, or threatens the health, safety, life, limb, or well-being, both mental and physical, of the aggrieved person.
Coerces the aggrieved person to meet unlawful demands for dowry or other property.
Causes harm, whether physical or mental, to the aggrieved person.

Procedure for Filing Domestic Violence Case

When a woman experiences domestic violence, the first step is to approach a Protection Officer (PO), designated for each district. The PO is there to assist the aggrieved woman in various ways:

Arranging medical aid if needed.
Preparing a Domestic Incident Report required for filing a case with the police.
Helping file a case with the Magistrate.
Facilitating contact with Service Providers offering counselling and legal services.
Developing a safety plan to ensure the aggrieved person's future safety.

The Magistrate can order various protective measures, including counselling, restraining orders, monetary relief, custody orders, and compensation for injuries and emotional distress caused by domestic violence. Breach of any Magistrate's order is a punishable offence, which can lead to imprisonment.

The Importance of Legal Protection:

The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, is designed to safeguard women from domestic abuse. Importantly, this protection extends to not only wives and daughters-in-law but to all women, including mothers and daughters, who face abuse within their own homes.
