Common Legal Questions Answered
One of the hottest topics right now is what legal steps a man can take if a woman hits him. In India, the law treats assault seriously regardless of gender. Under Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code, a man can file a complaint for assault or criminal force intended to outrage his modesty. If the punch caused physical injury, Section 323—voluntarily causing hurt—also applies. The police will register an FIR, and the case can move to court where the accused may face fines, imprisonment, or both.
