Domestic Violence

you are wrong.

'woman belongs from educated well settled family, can harras the husband?' -  yes. they do it more cleaverly. 

but sir purpose of this act not complying. coz dvact was come in force to help needy woman not every one

i am not talking  about a very perticular case. might be your client is innocent in this regard.

The object of this act is to protect women from domestic violence. No discrimination on financial status of women. To avail the a remady under this act applicant must be a woman.

2(a) "aggrieved person" means any woman who is, or has been, in a domestic relationship with the respondent and who alleges to have been subjected to any act of domestic violence by the respondent;

I have a doubt. Mr. Law Juris Mumbai, has told us that

"A married educated woman belongs from educated well settled family, can harras the husband? "

So, I want to know whether he is trying to ask,  if any husband can file a case under DV Act against his wife, or, can an educated woman can be harrased ...     As reagrds the issue of who cna be the 'complainant' , Mr Rajesh has already replied.

Sir,

Women can harras by Law wether they are educated or not. The  law is protecting them.  Even  in the case of Dowery etc - it the women who is responsoble

Any woman can harass her husband by abuse of process of law
