A woman facing domestic violence, dowry demands, and any form of abuse from her husband can file a complaint under the Domestic Violence Act and under the Divorce Act. She can file for divorce on the grounds of cruelty.
If she is mentally and/or physically tortured by her husband and/or in-laws, she has a strong ground for divorce and can also file a case under Section 498A IPC.
The Indian law does not consider men to be victims of domestic violence. Therefore, filing for divorce on the grounds of domestic violence is currently applicable only for women in India. Men, on the other hand, can file for divorce under the grounds of cruelty and abuse.
