Frequently Asked Questions: Domestic Violence Law & Protection Orders

Under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, an aggrieved woman can seek immediate statutory reliefs before the Metropolitan Magistrate: 1) Section 18 Protection Orders restraining the respondent from committing acts of physical, verbal, emotional, or economic violence, communicating with her, or entering her workplace; 2) Section 19 Residence Orders securing her right to continue living in the shared household or directing the respondent to provide alternate rented accommodation at his expense; 3) Section 20 Monetary Relief covering medical expenses, loss of earnings, and daily maintenance; 4) Section 21 Temporary Child Custody with supervised visitation; 5) Section 22 Compensation for emotional distress and trauma; and 6) Section 23 Ex-Parte Interim Orders granted immediately on the first date of hearing upon an affidavit.
Yes. Resolving years of judicial ambiguity, the Supreme Court of India in its landmark 3-judge bench ruling in Satish Chander Ahuja v. Sneha Ahuja (2020) held that a wife has an enforceable right of residence under Section 17 of the DV Act in a 'shared household,' even if the house is self-acquired or exclusively owned by her father-in-law or mother-in-law, provided the woman lived in that household in a domestic relationship. In-laws cannot arbitrarily evict or throw out a daughter-in-law without obtaining an eviction order through due process of law from a competent court.
False or exaggerated DV complaints are vigorously defended by LegalSakhi through systematic courtroom strategies: 1) Domestic Incident Report (DIR) Scrutiny: Challenging the Protection Officer’s report if filed without proper inquiry; 2) Lack of Domestic Relationship: Proving through rent agreements, employment records, or separate utility bills that the married couple lived separately from elderly parents/in-laws (Kamlesh Devi v. Jaipal); 3) Disproving Fabricated Allegations: Presenting CCTV footage, WhatsApp communications, travel records, and bank statements; 4) Section 29 Appeal: Filing an urgent statutory appeal before the Sessions Court against unjustified ex-parte interim maintenance or residence orders; and 5) High Court Quashing: Filing a petition under Section 482 CrPC / Section 528 BNSS before the Delhi High Court to quash malicious, vindictive proceedings against distant relatives.
Delhi Metropolitan Magistrates prioritize emergency protection matters. Under Section 23(2) of the DV Act, if the Magistrate is prima facie satisfied that the respondent is committing or has committed an act of domestic violence, or there is an imminent danger of dispossession or physical harm, the court can pass an ex-parte interim protection order within 24 to 72 hours of filing. The court directs the local Delhi Police station and Protection Officer to ensure immediate police protection and maintain the status quo regarding the residence.
Section 498A IPC (Section 85 Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita) is a criminal penal proceeding focused on punishing the husband and in-laws with up to 3 years imprisonment for dowry demand or physical/mental cruelty; it leads to police investigation, CAW Cell counseling, and criminal chargesheet. In contrast, the Domestic Violence Act, 2005 is a quasi-civil, emergency restorative law handled by the Metropolitan Magistrate designed to provide immediate civil remedies—such as shelter in the matrimonial home, monthly interim monetary relief, physical protection, and temporary child custody—without waiting for a criminal trial to conclude. Both remedies can be pursued concurrently.
Yes. Under Section 19(8) and Section 12 of the DV Act, the Magistrate has explicit statutory authority to direct the respondent and in-laws to return all Stridhan, bridal gold jewellery, silver articles, clothes, wedding gifts, and household belongings to the possession of the aggrieved woman. If the husband or in-laws conceal or refuse to return the Stridhan, our advocates additionally initiate criminal proceedings under Section 406 IPC (Criminal Breach of Trust) and seek search warrants from the court for recovery.
