File execution petition for execution of order. If you do not own any house, then you can take separate residence and can claim rent from husband by filing an application for direction to husband for payment of rent. For streedhan etc file police complaint under section 406 IPC etc. You can also file divorce case so to move in life. Other remedies can be suggested after examining in detail.
- Since, there is already interim order for the maintenance , then in case of non-payment the same by the husband , you can file an execution application before the same court.
- The husband is bound to pay the same , otherwise the court may pass arrest warrant against him.
- Further, if the court is not passing the residential order , then you can mention to the court for directing the husband to pay the rent .
- Further , if you want to live with him , then you can request the court for referring the matter before the mediation cell for reconciliation.
- Further for getting the stridhan , you can lodge a complaint before the police .
If he had filed a divorce case, you can file a petition under section 24 HMA for interim maintenance and also a petition under section 27 for return of your articles held by him
In DV case you can file a collection petition under the procedures of cr.p.c. as applicable to section 125 cr.p.c. for claiming maintenance amount.
you can ask for alternative accommodation if your matrimonial home is not safe.
You can get the order executed by issuing warrant against him
Dear Client,
If the husband has neglected to fulfill the court-ordered maintenance obligations, it is possible to initiate contempt of court proceedings against him to address the non-compliance.
Additionally, in the context of a Domestic Violence (DV) case, the aggrieved party may pursue an application for seeking alternative accommodation. This request aims to secure a safe living environment for the individual facing domestic violence, possibly by obtaining a protection or restraining order that ensures they are not forced to cohabit with the abusive party.
You may approach the local women police station or Women Protection Officer with your grievance. It will lead to counselling and efforts will be made to settle the issues, and take necessary legal action if the other party is not ready to honour your rights.
