the petitioner and the respondent took place on 27.02.2021. The marriage is an arranged marriage. At the time of marriage, there was a demand for 25 sovereigns of gold and cash of Rs.5 lakhs. The petitioner's family members arranged only 20 sovereigns of gold and cash of Rs.1 lakh as dowry. Not satisfied with the dowry, the petitioner was harassed and humiliated by the respondent and his family members. Further, she found that the respondent was not a sensible person and he is an alcoholic. Later, the respondent demanded more dowry and hence, she was forced out from the matrimonial home. In the meanwhile, there was also a male child born to them on 15.01.2022. But, the respondent failed to take care of the petitioner as well as the child, named Kirubhagaran. Now, the petitioner is under the care of
