This Act applies to citizen of any country provided the respondednt was in domestic relationship of the petitioner. But the cause of action must arise in India.

yes
Ayantika Mondal (Expert) 22 November 2010
yes, a foreigner too can avail protection under the said Act. In case the violence occurs in any other country the victim should look for similar laws of that country. In US one can avail protection under the Violence Against Women Act of 1994
