Re: regarding bail

Yes, domestic violence complaint is maintainable against women - mother-in-law, sister-in-law etc. There is no provision in law for giving any time period / relaxation. However, the court may grant stay of arrest meaning thereby the non-bailable offence is converted into bailable and the arresting officer may accept bail.
