Can I file domestic violence case against my parents?

I am a 26 year old Muslim woman who has never known a normal childhood. I have been mentally and emotionally scarred by a traumatic childhood and I still am abused till this day. It started when I was 11 years old and my brother was born. My father was jobless and my mother earned. That's when all my problems started- he would take out his frustration on me:physically, mentally and verbally abusing me. I even tried to commit suicide. This continued for years until I went away to hostel for my graduation. Now i am back at home after 7 years for 3 month (as I left my job to pursue higher studies) and it has started all over again. I feel suicidal again. Pls suggest what to do

If you are being undergoing such abuse, living with your parents is completely out of question. You can very well file a case under the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act. Moreover, you can also approach the Ld. Court for directing your parents to provide you with proper maintenance.

Sale of Jointly Owned Home by Couple, with Minor and Adult Children

I'm the wife of a recently deceased husband, and I'm looking to sell our jointly-owned home immediately, as the banks are pursuing us for outstanding payments. We have two sons, aged 21 and 13. Would a release deed suffice, or is a succession certificate necessary for the minor? We don't have the time or money to go through a lengthy court process for the latter. The chairman of our housing society is insisting on a succession certificate, but obtaining one could take at least a year. Given that the bank's EMI is too high and unsustainable for us, a release deed would be ideal since a succession certificate isn't feasible. Could you please guide us on the best course of action?
