Husband abuses pregnant wife, demands DNA—what legal action?

Sir, I’m pregnant, but my husband doesn’t want the child. I don’t want to live with him anymore. He is demanding a DNA test, which I don’t want to give. He also beats me and has thrown me out of the house. How can I file a case against him?

You can file a domestic violence case under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. The DNA test can’t be forced unless ordered by a court. Approach the nearest women’s police station or legal aid center to file complaints for assault, eviction, and mental harassment. You also have the right to shelter and maintenance. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
