My sister is being verbally abused . I am scared things might get escalated . How to handle things legally?
My sister got married 4 years back. Here are the problems:
1- Her husband had a breakup before marriage which left him mentally ill ( schizophrenia) but he labels as ghost taking over . It was disclosed after wedding.
2- He stopped my sister from going out or meeting anyone.
3- My dad and he had issues because one of my cousin got married in different caste and he wanted my dad not to support which led to bigger fight. My dad apologised him but he didn’t care it’s been more than a year.
4- He never helps with baby as per his mom he is not allowed to change diaper of a baby girl.
5- He keeps on emotionally abusing my sister by keep on blaming and he has started verbal abuse as well. If my sister tells him anything he keeps on hitting himself.
6- His parents also keep on supporting him and blames my sister and dad that they have made him like this. He has self harm tendencies.
7- His mom keeps on demanding “gifts” from us.
They own a house , my sister had paid the downpayment and EMIs . Her husband is co applicant.
There will be no alimony involved , maybe child support.
My sister has become numb she doesn’t react to anything and that man is getting miserable everyday. I don’t want to wait until things escalate to physical abuse.
Please let me know how to proceed.
