Answer:

Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act

(1) This Act may be called the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. (2) It extends to the whole of India except the State of Jammu and Kashmir. (3) It shall come into force on such date as the Central Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, appoint.

(2) It extends to the whole of India except the State of Jammu and Kashmir.

(3) It shall come into force on such date 1 as the Central Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, appoint.

required answer :-

The Act covers all women who may be mother, sister, wife, widow or partners living in a shared household.

The relationship may be in nature of marriage or adoption.

In addition relationships with family members living together as a joint family are also included. However, no female relative of the husband or the male partner can file a complaint against the wife or the female partner, for e.g. the mother-in-law cannot file an application against a daughter-in-law, but she can file an application against her daughter-in-law for abetting her son to commit violence against her.
