Legal Question in Family Law in India
a divorced hindu daughter lives with her parents and married brother.during divorce proceedings her parents supported her a lot.
but now after brother's marriage,they treat her v.badly,and even insult her in front of her bhabhi.if the daughter retaliates,she is orally abused further that if u want to live with your bhabhi,live gracefully,even though the daugher speaks up only when harassed;not otherwise.
she is made to feel repeatedly that she is living with her brother and that he only will be there after parents' death;so she has to live under him(even if he ill treats her) other relatives dont help the daughter as they too treat her as an outsider saying that she ruined the life of her inlaws and now sitting in her parents' and brother's house
because of these daily taunts,the daughter is into severe depression and therefore has quarrels with all people.so she doesnt get any my support from anywhere and is v.lonely.
what action can she take against her parents for daily taunts,due to which her newly wed bhabhi is also getting the liberty to illtreat her.......what if she takes action and then parents prove somehow that they have always taken care of her(which they did so during her divorce case;not any more)
why is the indian society so abusive towards divorced daughters?the daughter is worried that after her parents' death,her brother,bhabhi and her kids will illtreat her a lot as they have started doing it already on parents' instigations.please advise

if u are not working its better u start working and if you havent got maintenence on divorece u can still file for maintenence from your husband under hindu marriage act and as far as your parents is concern tryu to be finnanciaiily strong sio that all they can respect u but u can still go for domestice violence act and alos can write to women's cell to interupt and advice in a decent manner
