How to act against an abusive husband

My husband beats me in front of my daughter and my father. I called the police and they told us to sign a warning paper about any physical or moral damage.

How can I punish him for this abuse?

For emergency, contact abuse helpline ‘800111', a government-run shelter for women and children who have suffered domestic violence.

You can complain to the police or file a case against him. Certain provisions of the law allow husbands to "correct" the wife.

Dear,

You may file a criminal case against physical assault if the medical report was prepared.

However, you need to understand the consequences which will lead to an end of your marriage also.

Regards
