Sub: Complaint against Mr. Husband's name (Husband), Mob: Husband's mobile number, S/o Sh. Husband's father's name.
Respected Sir/Madam,
1.That the present complaint is being filed against the atrocities and cruelties committed upon the aggrieved person / complainant by her husband, named above.
2.That on or around Date when the proposal came to the family, the parents of the complainant came to know of Husband's name Husband's surname and his family expressing interest in the marriage of the complainant. The complainant and her family members were informed that Husband's name was carrying on a family business and was earning handsomely. The above-named persons represented themselves as well-cultured, religious and respectful of traditional values. It was further represented that Husband's name was a teetotaller, educated, soft-spoken, well-cultured, well-behaved, down-to-earth and a man of good habits.
3.That upon the first meeting between the complainant's parents and family members and Husband's name and his family members, the impression given was that they were broad-minded and well-to-do persons, that they were not concerned with dowry, and that they only wanted a simple girl from a decent, cultured and respectable family. Since the marriage proposal had come through common relatives, and their behaviour was most pleasing, the complainant and her family came under their spell.
4.That the marriage of the complainant was solemnized with Husband's name on Date of marriage with great pomp and show as per Religious rites and ceremonies of marriage, which was attended by the friends and relatives of both parties. It is pertinent to note that the complainant belongs to a middle-class family and, in order to fulfil the desires of her husband and his family members, the complainant and her family members spent a considerable amount on the marriage and also gave expensive gifts, including gold and silver articles, to them and other family members. The complainant and her family members spent lakhs of rupees on the marriage, along with other expensive gifts including but not limited to diamond ornaments, gold ornaments, silver ornaments, an LED television, an almirah, crockery, a washing machine, a toaster, a microwave set, dresses and other articles. Despite the complainant and her family members doing their best to fulfil all the desires and demands of the above-named persons, they were not satisfied even with the marriage ceremonies and used to taunt the complainant.
5.That from the very first day of the marriage, they taunted the complainant that her parents had not performed the marriage function as per the standards of her husband and his family members, and also taunted her about the cultural differences between themselves and the complainant. Husband's name went to the extent of saying that he did not like the complainant, made degrading and insulting remarks about her, and told her that he had married the complainant only on the pretext of extorting dowry from her parents. Hearing these humiliating words and embarrassing remarks from her husband, the complainant's heart broke and she was shattered, feeling that her life had been ruined and that nobody loved her in the matrimonial home. The complainant suppressed all such humiliation, which she was compelled to tolerate, in the hope that things would settle down in her matrimonial home and that one day they would begin to love her.
6.That Husband's name was not financially settled, and the complainant was trying to support and settle him so that he could start a business. During this period, the complainant helped him and took loans, and the household was being run with the assistance of her salary. During this period, the complainant learnt that his family had taken a bank loan, and in order to help his father, the complainant helped and started paying the loan instalments. Later, when the loan was cleared, one portion of the basement was transferred to the complainant and her husband. Thereafter, the complainant was advised to invest money in a plot at Place where the plot investment was suggested, for which she was again asked to provide money, and in order to support her family she helped and arranged the demand draft for the same. In general, the complainant was drawn into maintaining the social status of her husband, and these incidents delayed her focus on family planning, which also affected her health. The complainant was undergoing treatment, but there was an additional pressure upon her to work in order to run the household.
7.That the complainant underwent treatment through surrogacy, but without success. During this period, the complainant learnt that her husband was addicted to codeine. She tried to help him, but he would have mood swings and would look for reasons to fight till late at night, after consuming alcohol. He underwent treatment at Hospital name hospital for the same. The complainant was trying to support him emotionally, but he would look for reasons to fight. During this period, Dr. Doctor's name of Hospital or clinic name assisted in his treatment. The complainant was blessed with a baby boy through surrogacy, and as her husband was not financially settled, the complainant cleared most of the hospital bills and ran the household, with no financial or emotional support from his family. Hence, Person who suggested taking help from her mother suggested taking help from her mother. The complainant's son remained at her mother's house for almost Duration of son's stay at mother's house, after which the complainant and her son shifted to Place of stay for two months for two months, and later the complainant and her husband returned to Delhi. The complainant bore the household expenses wherever needed, while the full basement rent was taken by Husband's name to run the house. Despite the complainant managing all this, her husband still tortured her for money and demanded an account of the last Duration of marriage the husband demanded accounts for of her life. The complainant has undergone many treatments and is still undergoing the same, and there is no mental or emotional support from her husband. The complainant also feels that her husband requires medical help / counselling, as he often threatens her that if her son stays with her, he will do something to himself. When the complainant's brothers went to meet him and tried to resolve the matter, he initiated false litigation against both her brothers, First brother's name and Second brother's name. On the night when the complainant went to meet her son, he threatened her that he would harm her brothers' children as well. The complainant's son is with him, and the complainant is extremely worried, as her son, aged Age of the complainant's son, is with him and he is not in a sound state of mind. He plays games, is generally drunk at night, and there is no one to take care of the son. Whenever the complainant goes there, he fights and levels false allegations against her and her family.
8.That the life of the complainant became miserable in her matrimonial home. It is also important to mention here that the accused caused a great deal of physical and mental torture and harassment to the complainant. The accused also used to threaten the complainant that he would not leave her alive.
9.That the accused used to taunt and humiliate the complainant on every occasion, and whenever the complainant went outside the house, the accused levelled false allegations against her. The complainant most humbly submits that no one from the accused's family has ever tried to pacify and advise him about the right way to lead a family life.
10.That owing to the vile and abusive behaviour of the accused, the complainant has been subjected to mental, physical and psychological cruelty. The accused refused to support the complainant and blamed her. Apart from physical cruelty, the complainant has been subjected to different types of cruelty, which are more harmful than physical cruelty, and which have destroyed her peace of mind and grievously hurt her feelings.
11.That a comprehensive appraisal of the entire matrimonial life of the complainant and the accused clearly shows that the accused is guilty of treating the complainant with physical, mental and economic violence, without any just and reasonable cause, which is unpardonable and unforgivable, and that their wilful and unjustifiable acts have inflicted severe harassment and agony upon the complainant and have forced her to take the step of filing this complaint against the accused on account of their unbearable violence.
12.That the complainant was so mentally disturbed and burdened by the conduct of the accused that on many occasions she thought of committing suicide; however, she pacified herself with the hope that these times of hardship would end soon. To her misfortune, the accused never showed any care or concern for the complainant and at all times inflicted atrocity and cruelty upon her.
That on account of the atrocities and cruelty committed upon the Complainant, and in her endeavour to come out of the trauma suffered by her, the entire persona of the Complainant has been destroyed. She was earlier a confident, smart and hardworking person, but owing to the ill-treatment, the constant demands for dowry and the taunts meted out to her and her family members by the Accused, she is now unable to repose confidence in anybody nor can she trust anyone.
That owing to the constant threats made by all the Accused, the Complainant got scared and felt alarmed, as the Accused are persons of means and are fully capable of executing their threats. The Complainant is thus left with no other option but to approach your good self.
1.That the Complainant has no other remedy left except to approach your good self and to request that appropriate action be taken against the Accused. The Complainant reserves her right to make an additional statement regarding the conduct of the Accused and the details of other atrocities committed by them, as and when directed by your good self. The Complainant has been constrained to file this complaint. It is, therefore, requested that appropriate action may be taken against the aforesaid persons.
2.It is, therefore, most respectfully requested that your good self may kindly take appropriate action against the aforesaid Accused in accordance with law and register an FIR.
Your's faithfully,
(xxxx)
