Hi Sir/ Madam, I am writing to inform a case of domestic violence which has been happening for over 30 years at my in-laws house hold. My father in-law is abusive towards his wife and this has been going on for 30 years. My wife and her sister has been witnessing this for all these and has been helpless as they were dependents. My mother in-law was not courageous enough to leave her husband and walk away. There was an incident recently where he abused my mother in-law and then that's when my wife and me took a stand take our mother in-law away from that house. We asked her to come with us from that toxic place and managed to do so. We asked her to sneak out of the house when my father in law was not present at the house. We would want to take precautions here just to be safe and not have any issues in future. At this stage people have started to know that he was abusive and he might be afraid of losing his social prestige. As this might trigger some mental pressure in him and try to committ suicide or anything else. We are afraid that what if he writes our name in a note or something and state that me and my wife are responsible for anything that happens to him. We want to take precaution at this point to avoid any such further problems that might legally arise in future because of that note or anything that he does to himself and his mother(who is also his supporter in violence). We do not want to sue him or anything, just we want to stay away and not have any problems. How can we make sure that we can report this but not lodging any complaint and make our self free from any legal obligations.

Dear Client, based on your question, you can file complaint to the local police station and shared all the details to the authority. Such a report needs to carry a record of the history of abuse, safety measures taken for your mother-in-law, and apprehension about possible false criminal complaints. This will serve as an official record without being a filing of a case against your father-in-law. Further, keeping track of mail and ensconcing informed citizens regarding the issue can also act as evidence in court if required. It is better to take some legal advice immediately in such a situation to allow yourself to tackle contingencies as they come. I trust this advice proves useful to you. Please feel free to contact us.
Dear Madam, There will be no objection from anybody if you chose to stay away from husband provided you have sufficient source of income.
To address the domestic violence situation involving your father-in-law while minimizing legal risks, it’s advisable to consult a lawyer specializing in domestic violence. Document all incidents of abuse thoroughly and consider informing local authorities or women’s helplines to create an official record without filing a formal complaint. Engage with Protection Officers under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act for guidance and support. Maintain safety by changing contact information, avoiding direct confrontation, and staying informed about any changes in his behavior. Open communication with family members can help clarify the situation and encourage mental health support for your father-in-law if appropriate. Taking these steps can help protect you and your family while navigating this complex issue.
You can send a legal letter to your local police station and to the local commissioner.... Informing the authority about the ongoing abuse of your mother in law... The letter is for general information only whereas no strict action is needed now against your father in law... For detailed information kindly have a direct consultation..
