        My maid (age around 35) has been getting abused by her husband. Daily beatings were usual. The husband is a jobless drunkard to does nothing except snatching her income and beating her at night.

        Her daughter (age 16) tried complaining to Jharsa thana and sector 40 thana (in Gurgaon) multiple times, but each time they only keep him overnight before releasing him. They keep asking money to do anything more.

        Last night, he beat her so much that she is hospitalised now. Her daughter fears of their safety. What can I do or suggest them to do so that her husband is permanently put away?

        Few details: They have tried rehab and living seperately, but he keeps coming back. The daughter has pictures of her injured mother.

          Do not get yourself entangled in other people’s family matters especially if you have a formal/contractual dealings with them

                  What part of “What can I do or suggest them to do so that her husband is permanently put away?” says you are not getting involved?

                  Trying to help or educate someone is different vs getting emotionally involved with limited/unverified details is different. Your text sounds its the latter

                      You seem a lot more emotionally involved here than I do. There’s help, and then there’s posturing. Your text sounds it’s the latter.

                              No. I reserve those thoughts for your mom.

                      Talk to an NGO. They will help. Try reaching out to an NGO that specialises in these matters. Also unless she stands upto to him and kicks him out, nothing will work.

                          This. Try to approach ngos that have experience with domestic violence. Police are sometimes scared of ngos.

                                They should directly approach the Court under the pretext that the police is not taking cognizance.

                                    Ask them to reach out to an Ngo or a lawyer and maybe give them some money but don’t get involved in it.

                                    You don’t want that drunkard later to be coming at your house and office and create scenes.

                                    Stay away from these people as much possible.

                                      A long time ago, when I was a kid, our maid’s daughter came to mom and said her mom couldn’t come to work cz she got beaten up. Apparently, I told her to beat him right back. I don’t remember this. They were multiple siblings, some of then grown up. I’m not fasting they should take kar into their own facts, but self defence is a valid reason to beat someone up. Especially if they start it.

                                        Hi. I practice in Delhi so I can help given that Gurgaon is not too far. Please let me know more details as to how she plans to go about this. As in does she want active police/judicial interference? Please let me know if I could be of any help.
