Everyone has a right to safety in their own home. The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act gives you real legal remedies — protection orders, the right to reside, and financial relief. We help you understand and access them.
If you are in immediate danger, please contact local police (100) or a women's helpline (181) first. This page describes legal remedies available once you are safe to pursue them.
The law recognises physical, emotional, verbal, and economic abuse. You have the right to seek protection, whatever form the abuse takes.
You generally cannot be forced out of the shared household — a residence order can protect this right explicitly.
Courts can grant urgent, ex-parte protection orders where circumstances warrant immediate relief.
Every consultation is handled with strict discretion and compassion — this is a safe space to discuss your situation.
