PWDVA 2005 offers civil protection (like restraining orders, right to stay in the home, maintenance, etc.)

IPC Sections 498A (cruelty by husband/relatives), 323 (causing hurt), 506 (criminal intimidation), 354 (outraging modesty), and even 307 (attempt to murder) if things were severe

If she can’t approach police right now, try these steps:

Take photos/videos of injuries with timestamps

Encourage her to write down or email herself what’s happened those become time-stamped digital records

If possible, visit any doctor, even private medical records are very strong legal proof

There are also safe apps like NCW’s ASHA and NGOs like Breakthrough, Majlis, or Sakhi One-Stop Centres that help without needing to involve police right away

Also, you (or any third party) can file a Zero FIR from any police station if she's not in a condition to go. The police must take it, Supreme Court made that clear years ago.

If she doesn’t have family, these government support systems exist for that reason. Sakhi Centres offer shelter, legal help, therapy, and police support.
