Cruelty Against Women and Criminal Breach of Trust

Cruelty against women is a serious offense under Indian law, often involving physical, emotional, or mental abuse inflicted by a spouse or in-laws. This form of cruelty can manifest in various ways, including domestic violence, dowry harassment, and emotional torment. Under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), such cruelty is a punishable crime, aimed at protecting women from abusive marital relationships. At Plead Legal, we provide strong legal support to women facing cruelty, helping them seek justice, protection, and relief from abusive environments.

Criminal breach of trust, often connected to cases of cruelty, occurs when someone in a position of trust misuses or withholds property, financial assets, or other valuables for personal gain. In cases involving women, this breach of trust can include dowry or other assets handed over in good faith during marriage. Under Section 406 of the IPC, criminal breach of trust is a punishable offense. At Plead Legal, we assist women in filing legal complaints, ensuring that those responsible for misusing trust or exploiting them financially are held accountable.
