Hi,
There is a lady who has repeatedly suffered physical violence by her elder brother at home, sometimes even before the eyes of her mother. In one instance (12 years ago) this brother stuck her on her ear causing irrepairable damage, and she is unable to hear from one ear since that time.
Now she is married, but this brother still intimidates her and last year when she visited her hometown, he tried to strike her again. Can she still file a police complaint against her brother for under domestic violence act? Will this hold good for the incident 12 years ago as well, since her brother seems to continue his old habits. She has not yet approached the police because of family honour, but this is only encouraging her brother more and more. Please advise.
Thanks.
