✔️ File a Complaint Under IPC Sections – Sections 323, 506, 504, 509 can be used for harassment, threats, or physical harm. 📜
✔️ Seek Protection Under General Criminal Laws – Assault, cruelty, or intimidation laws apply to all genders. ⚖️
✔️ File for Divorce on Grounds of Cruelty – Recognized under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and other marriage laws. 💔
