Dv case

Brief Facts: Marriage of less than a year - Wife severally harassed by in-laws - now staying with her parents for last 2 months-

Should the aggrieved party (The Lady), complain to CAW first OR Should a DV case be filed for maintenance first and then approach CAW?
What use will be the statement of facts given by the Complainant to CAW in

the Divorce proceedings and
criminal proceedings

You would have to narrate the exact facts

1. Is harassed wife working .

2. Is she qualified .

3. Is she capable of working .

4.Only after this can a conclusion come against maintanence .

5.Reconcilation attempts have to be made by husband and wife and a seperate accomodation should be taken to stay away from the inlaws if they are the cause .rather than filing cases .

6. Even if complain is given to CAW ultimately the court decides so DV case has to filed in court .

7. What criminal proceedings are you talking about in DV case . First try to obtain protection order by proving the facts of the case and than think about criminal proceedings .

Your stress should be on point no 5 rather than breaking up the marriage by filing cases .Wish you all the best Mr Justice .
