Proceedings are generally initiated by the lodging of a First Information Report (FIR), followed by police investigation and prosecution before a competent court of law.
Acts constituting cruelty may include, but are not limited to:
Cruelty is treated as a serious matrimonial offence, as it directly affects the dignity, bodily integrity, and mental well-being of the victim. The law seeks to provide effective protection to victims while ensuring fair and just procedural safeguards during investigation and trial.
