I doubt she can claim under DV act there is no domestic relationship post divorce how can DV occur? Although she can claim maintenance under crpc 125

No provision under DV act. Moreover alimony matters are cleared while most of the divorce decrees are granted!

Mr. P.Raichura,

yes in the PROTECTION OF WOMEN FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ACT 2005, CLEARLY SUGGEST THAT A DIVORCED WIFE ALSO ENTITLE TO SEEK RELIEF UNDER THIS ACT, IF NOT REMARRIED.

PL go thru the ACT 2005 CAREFULLY.

MIND IT THOUGH SHE IS DIVORCEE BUT NOT REMARRIED, And DV ACT provide all civil rights , that can not be cut down only on " DIVORCEE" .

I believe otherwise, the practise has not been encouraged by HC, when there is an alternative remedy in law.
