Urgent: Father (42M) Threw Stool at Mother (42F) and Attempted Strangulation – Repeated Physical Abuse Over Decades

I am posting this on behalf of a 20-year-old recent graduate who is preparing for competitive exams and belongs to a middle-class family in India.( u/GlitteringSurvive)

The situation is as follows: The father has a history of serial infidelity and physical violence against the mother throughout their marriage. The mother had one instance of emotional infidelity in response. The father confiscated her phone two years ago and has kept her without one, while he continues to have access to phones and may still be involved in extramarital affairs.

Today morning, during a dispute, the father threw a stool at the mother and nearly strangled her. One of the triggers he cited was that the child did not speak to him before he left on a trip. The father has also verbally abused the child in the past.

The mother has no independent source of income. Divorce is being resisted due to concerns about social reputation. The paternal family is suggesting a compromise, and the father has expressed regret for the physical violence. However, this pattern—anger, remorse, recurrence every 2–3 months—has continued for years, and the mother now refuses to accept any further compromise.

The child feels helpless and is unsure whether to pursue legal action. There is also a concern that if legal proceedings are initiated, the father may harm himself due to his perceived societal image.

The family is conflicted between moving out and attempting reconciliation. There are also unresolved personal issues between the parents.

Request:
What legal options are available in this situation? Can the mother file a complaint or seek protection without immediate divorce? What steps should be taken to ensure safety, and how can the child support the mother while also focusing on exam preparation?

Going down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories 😭

Alright soooooo, I’ve been getting a lot of those videos about how Joe Biden died, and this present one is a clone, same about Selena Gomez, Ellen, how Justin beiber even hints about it in his songs, reptilian humans and what not. Anyone wants to go down this rabbit hole and give me some more interesting information 😭

Starting prep this year

Hello people. As the title states, I’ll be starting my prep this year. I did take coaching from Vajiram and Ravi for the past year but was unable to attend the classes due to health reasons. I do have the notes. Basically starting from scratch. What do I start with? My weak point is GS and polity, rest I can do. Should I take coaching specifically for CSAT and GS? That is what I was thinking as I have the notes for the other subjects, and could go into more detail with a few telegram channels(someone posted here that almost every teacher’s lectures are available online, I haven’t checked that). To conclude, if I could get some guidance, that would be extremely helpful.

Pata hai aaj kya hua

Pata hai aaj kya hua

Today, a guy for RO maintenance was at our house and uk how the usual goes unke liye chai banayi. His wife was sitting in the car outside, so my dad asked me to go and give her water first and later tea. I was like ok. At first she seemed hesitant to touch the glass of water, but I was like ok maybe she’s just apprehensive cuz her husband is literally here for RO maintenance.

But then I went to give her tea and namkeen and she rejected that despite me asking her twice or thrice. I came back and told dad and her husband that she refused. Dad then tells the guy “bhabhiji ko bolo ki shudra nahi hai”. It was meant as a “joke”. And uk what? She actually accepted the tea and snacks this time lol. Casteism is SO DEEPLY ingrained in the society still, and people say that it’s not.
