Regarding sexsual harrasment

Respected all,
my sister's father in law doing s*xsual harrasment to her and her daughter, here is the problem that she has no proof of all this. now can she file a complaint against her father in law. she also told the incident to her husband but he refused to agree and he also fights with her. We all are helpless due to evidence. please give us suggestions that we get justice.

Oral testimony, by itself, constitutes evidence.

If the father in law's tortures are not tolerable and her husband is also ignoring her complaints against him, then she can walk into a local police station , lodge a criminal complaint.

There is no necessary to give evidence for such offences because he is trying to misbehave with her child also, the child can tell before the police about the incidences, which will be sufficient for the polcie to initiate proper legal aciton against him.

Your sister can submit her complaint on s*xual harassment to the Ministry of women & child development in your state through either online or making a call to the department officials/twitter/facebook messages etc.
