Sir,
one of my female relative is having problems with her husband as he tortures her mentally, doesn't provide medical treatment properly and also he is addicted to substance abuse. what remedy can she have in law against this sort of violence. she has 1 child also of about 8 years age. due to lack of medical treatment she also got ill. She was taken to her fathers home for treatment by her father about 6 months back and she is still with her father along with her child.
Please suggest the legal remedy.
