I am from Mumbai and regret the day my daughter was married in 2009 to a boy from Bihari agarwal family based in Ernakulam (Cochin) and she stays in Ernakulam with her in laws. I need expert advice for following:
a)The marrige is not registered till date delibrately and my daughter is being tortured physically and mentally by the boy and his family. Although family has resources to keep a domestic help for house hold and manialwork my daughter is made to do the same and at times threatened by the boy with divorce etc.
Pl. therefore advice if I can register a criminal complaint u/s 498 A of CrPC ?
b) I have spent beyond my limit and the marriage ceremony was hels in a five star delux hotel in Ernakulam besides giving cash and gifts. I have evidance in form of video cd and album. Can these be used as proof of marrigae ?
c) We did not know much about the rogue family and now find it disgusting. While her father in law stays away from mother in law for months togather in Bhagalpur and joins family only to trap another family in to marrige alliance of other un married children he has no say in family matter. The mother in law wants to accompany married couple on honeymoon etc. and has very bad reputation in the local agarwal families of Ernakulam. Even the true age of children not disclosed and the daughter is married in to a Malyali family as she could not have got married in to a agarwal family due to loose moral and is said to be HIV +. Can we use this as a ground for divorce with other reasons mentioned above ?
Having suffered so much I am worried about safety of my daughter and I don't want the family to go scot free so pl. advice the various options open to me in the matter to act decisively ?

You didn't mention here where your daughter lives now days. At first you should find another solution than legal remedy for the sake of your child. Because generally legal remedy results in separation.
1. If you wants your daughter to be separated from her husband your daughter have so many options if you can prove, as 125 Cr.P.C. for maintenance, DV Act, 498 A IPC.
2. Video cd and album is vaild proof.
3. grounds of divorce are other than you have mentioned in the last Para (These facts can not be ground for divorce or cruelty.)
