• Domestic intolerance

Hello sir,
Im a girl of 20 years old, staying with my parents at bhubaneswar, odisha.
My father is govt servant and mother housewife.
My mom and dad has been married for 22 years now.
My father is a dominant person. He tends to insult women as he thinks women are low.
He is not that bad person but excessively dominant. Since childhood we had a fear that our father will leaves us.
He has an elder brother who is very greedy. My father is egoistic. My mother has served him and his family sincerely.My grandmother and grandfather loved my mom more than they loved their son.
My father has till date only served us money. He keeps on insulting my mother whenever possible.
yesterday i couldn't tolerate when he bolted the bedroom and let me and my mother swat mosquitoes for the whole night. He even said now you both will see what i will do.
Im afraid he will abandon us in a way which will affect my career because i have my admissions ahead.
please help me.

You and your mother have the rights to be maintained by your father.

You can claim the rights for residence and food and cloth or money in lieu if he neglects to take care of you.

He is duty bound to maintain his daughter till she is married.

He has to maintain his wife till the end.

Your mother can file a domestic violence case against him seeking protection, residence, maintenance and also compensation for all his cruel acts against her by him.
