Delhi Commission for Women

On 16th February 2010, a real life story found its way to the Supreme Court. By seeking justice before the country's apex court, a domestic violence victim filed a writ of habeas corpus seeking her daughter to be produced before the court.  She alleges that her husband sold off their daughter for prostitution.

This domestic violence victim has revealed shocking facts that she had not reported despite several years of physical and mental abuse by her husband. However, in her present petition, she does not press any domestic violence charges although she has been subject to years of domestic abuse.
