Domestic violence filed against me by my wife

Question

My wife filed a DV case against me in Sep 2020 and from there on there are adjournments every fortnight. I have a daughter aged 5. The prayer in the petition is compensation of Rs 25 lakh for her and my daughter. Now i do not have any movable or immovable property in my name.However i am employed. My wife has mentioned my father and mother as respondents as well in the petition. My father and mother have self acquired properties in their name. Will it be mandatory for my parents to compensate my wife and daughter based on their self aquired property or is it just my responsibility based on my income out of my employment. Please advise. Thank you.

    No it is not the obligation of the mother and father to provide for your wife. The Court will not be directing them to make any compensation. Furthermore, under the DV Case, maintenance can be claimed from the husband who is earning and not from the in-laws. The amount of compensation would be based upon the assets held by you and not by anyone else.
