No. You cannot file a domestic violence case against someone as a man in India. The Indian Penal Code does not dedicate any provisions towards safety of men against domestic violence. Gender biased laws are now being objected upon by people across the globe. The laws once enacted as shields for females are now widely being used as weapons against men. Laws considering the abuse faced by women in any form fail to realise the same when the coin is flipped on the man’s side.
A situation of violence at the hands of the in-laws can be tackled by filing an FIR against the counter party for assualt and battery under section 352 of the Indian Penal Code.
