In a case of domestic violence, is it necessary for the victimized woman to file the complaint herself, or can a relative or neighbor file the complaint on her behalf?
Yes, under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, any person—like a relative, friend, or neighbor—can file a complaint on behalf of the woman. It’s not necessary for the victim to file herself. You can approach the nearest police station or Protection Officer for help. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
