Can man file a case under Domestic Violence Act?
It is said that the Domestic Violence Act can be applicable to men in some cases. Is that true? If so, can an adult son file a case or complaint against his parents for domestic abuse?
The Domestic Violence Act protects only women, so an adult son cannot use it against his parents. However, if you are facing abuse, physical or mental then you can file a police complaint under general criminal laws like assault or harassment. You can also seek a restraining order or protection order through the court. Legal help is available so you are not alone. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
