May 9, 2026 at 6:08 pmThis is my friend’s story. She got married at just 16. Her mother died when she was born and she was raised by her nani. Later she was married to a drunk man who used to beat her regularly. Still, she stayed in the marriage for 7 years hoping things would improve.One day she found out her husband had mortgaged all her jewelry, the jewelry her nani had made for her with love. The amount later became around 5 lakhs. After that she left her sasural and raised her son alone for 5 years without any support.
She worked small jobs with a salary of around 9k and somehow tried to manage the jewelry recovery amount, her son’s studies, daily expenses, and her own survival together. I even helped her get a small job so she could survive independently.
But with such a low salary, she wasn’t able to handle the 5 lakh recovery amount, take care of her son’s education, and manage her own life all at once. So she later left her son with her in-laws so at least he could study properly.
Now they are not even allowing her to talk to her own child.
She wants to take legal action but she is scared of courts, police, and long cases because she is already struggling just to survive.
She only wants to talk to her son. I genuinely don’t know what advice to give her anymore.

May 9, 2026 at 6:19 pmTell them to approach local police station and file an application. The cops will call her in laws after dragging the matter for a few days. This is the first step.-

May 9, 2026 at 6:24 pmWe already contacted the SHO. He initially called her mother-in-law and said he would visit the house, but after that whenever we followed up, he kept saying he was busy and would call later. Nothing has happened yet.-

May 9, 2026 at 6:29 pmShe also wants to take legal action, but she is already in debt and has no savings. If she leaves everything and starts fighting cases, how will she survive, what will she eat, and where will she stay?

May 9, 2026 at 6:31 pmThe remedy you are looking for, police won’t be able to give you, more or less, they might be bribed, initiate a legal notice first, thereby seeking visitation rights to your friend to meet her son, followed by filing a case for custody and divorce both in family court-

May 9, 2026 at 6:32 pmAnother factor why police won’t entertain you is because your friend has been separated from her husband for more than 5 years, so cause of actiok to file a criminal case has been barred-

May 9, 2026 at 6:38 pmActually, she had already filed for divorce earlier. The court asked them to stay together for 6 months before making a final decision. She went back and stayed with him for around 4 months, but during that time he again started beating her, even in front of their son. Because of that she left again before completing 6 months. The divorce case is still pending in court.-
