Ms. Nirmala Rao has rightly opined and properly guided you. As the name suggests domestic violence case will be tried by a Magistrate in a criminal court of law hence only the criminal law procedure will apply. However, though the wife and mother in law are residing in your own house, there are possibilities for domestic violence by other members of your family against your wife which can be on their visits to your house or vice versa, your parents or sisters or brothers might have involved in torturing her orally over dowry or any other aspect hence there are possibilities for impleading others also in the case, so donot neglect even a small issue in this regard. If you both are living under the same shelter, what is the necessity for restitution of conjugal rights case? about maintenance, is she contemplating to file one despite living under your care and custody? My suggestion is that you do not keep worrying about nothing so soon, if you apprehend some danger in this regard you may take precaution foreseeing the particular subject accordingly.
