My so-called husband who is living in Dubai with my son has forcibly sent me back to India alone. For
the past two years, he says we should talk directly in the court and then he keeps disagreeing to give
whatever he had promised.

It’s really hard to tell my parents or anyone about the violence that I’ve been facing for five years now. I
allowed it to happen to me because I’d always think about what would happen to my four-year-old son if
I did something about the violence.

My sister got married three years ago. Since then, she is facing uncontrolled domestic violence by her
husband and his family members. What do I do?
-Inka
--
I am married for the last 21 years. My husband never gives me money and is also violent. Even his
mother had filed a false case against me.
-Rimi
--
Meri mummy 18 years se domestic violence seh rahi hai. Woh iske baare mein kuchh bhi nahi kar rahi
hai.
-Nishita
--
My maid who is suffering severe domestic violence complained to the police once but her husband was
released in an hour and nothing has changed in him.
-Pratiksha
--
My best friend’s father drinks and beats everyone at home. She is not able to do anything about it.
-Sharda
--
I still have a fear in my heart. These things happened in my home but my mom always kept quiet due to
my sister and me. Because of all the domestic violence at home, I fear that all men are violent. I feel
insecure in my own marriage because of this.
-Jayanthi

My husband has done a PhD in US. Even I’m a very well-educated girl. But within a month of our
wedding, he started beating me. After having an argument, the first thing that he would do is take my
phone and laptop away. Right now, I am in India and I have to go back again. Should I go back? This is
the third year of my arranged marriage. I want to ask you - What should I do next time when he beats
me?
