Re: family law
you can file complaint under Domestic Violence Act or 498A IPC.
Re: family law
If it is a minor family problem like a husband-wife difference, you may ignore.
If your daughter considers that her husband's behaviour is really cruel and she cannot bear with it anymore, she should file a complaint against him u/s 406, 498-A IPC.
She may also file a complaint under D.V.A.
