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.
