MAIKA Cases

The video features the harrowing testimony of Ravina, a woman from Udaipur, Rajasthan, who shares her traumatic experience of domestic abuse following a love marriage. Shortly after her marriage, her husband began physically and emotionally abusing her, fueled by his alcoholism and possessiveness. He accused her falsely of infidelity, restricted her freedom, and isolated her from her family and social support. Despite her attempts to seek help-reporting to the police and pursuing education and employment-she faced continuous harassment and violence. After enduring extreme physical abuse, including an incident that caused her to bleed, Ravina fled her home in the middle of the night with nowhere to go. She found shelter at a women's shelter called Maika, which she describes as a safe haven. Despite her husband's repeated apologies and promises to change, the cycle of abuse resumed each time she returned to him. She also recounts the emotional devastation upon discovering videos of her husband with another woman, exposing his hypocrisy and betrayal. The video further highlights the societal stigma attached to women who opt for love marriages, often blamed disproportionately for relationship failures, and the lack of support from their families. Ravina's story illustrates the pervasive challenges faced by abused women and underscores the importance of safe spaces like Maika for those escaping domestic violence. The video closes with a call to respect, support, and understand these women rather than judge or criticize them.

The video presents the harrowing account of a woman who endured severe domestic abuse and emotional torture within her marital home, primarily at the hands of her mother-in-law and extended family. After an arranged marriage, the woman faced relentless harassment and controlling behaviour, including being treated like a servant, denied social freedom, and subjected to constant demands and accusations. Her mother-in-law wished to live freely with her son while the woman was forced into servitude and isolation, even preventing her from bonding with her own child. Despite her efforts to adjust and survive for 11 years, living alternately between her marital home and her parental home, the emotional and physical abuse persisted. Eventually, the woman took the courageous decision to divorce and seek help in a women's shelter called "Maika Sweet Home." She speaks highly of the shelter, emphasizing its safety and support for women like her. The narrative also highlights the broader social issues around the mistreatment of women, the lack of support from family members, and the toxic dynamics between sisters-in-law and the challenges women face in Indian society when trying to assert independence and seek justice. The video concludes with a strong plea for respect and care in family relationships and encourages viewers to be mindful of the struggle's women endure.

The video presents a poignant and detailed narrative about the struggles faced by women who suffer domestic abuse and abandonment, and the vital role played by "Maika Mahila Ashram," a shelter dedicated to supporting such vulnerable women. The conversation centres around Neelam Chopra, a resident of the ashram, who shares her harrowing experiences of enduring years of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her alcoholic husband and the torment inflicted by her in-laws. Despite working and trying to maintain a livelihood, Neelam faced relentless violence including beatings, verbal abuse, and neglect, not only towards herself but also towards her elderly mother who lived with her. Her children remain in the care of her in-laws, who, despite their abuse of Neelam, look after the children more responsibly.

Neelam highlights the complexities women face when caught between two homes-the marital home and their parental home-both of which may reject or mistreat them. The ashram provides a safe haven with essential facilities such as food, shelter, hygiene, schooling for children, and mental health support, helping women recover from trauma and depression. The video also stresses that the ashram is not a hotel or hostel for women who are already independent or supported by their families, but a refuge for truly needy and homeless women.

The video ends with a strong appeal to society and families to understand the importance of mental health treatment for abusers, and the need for collective responsibility to support women facing such crises. It also requests viewers not to misuse the ashram's services for marriage or adoption inquiries, emphasizing its focused mission.

The video presents the harrowing personal story of Monika, a woman from Haryana, who shares her traumatic experience of domestic abuse and neglect following a love marriage. Monika describes growing up in a violent household with constant fights between her parents, witnessing abuse, and eventually choosing to marry out of love to escape that toxic environment. However, her marriage turned out to be equally abusive, marked by physical violence from her husband and his family, emotional neglect, and complete disregard for her well-being. Despite enduring immense suffering-including abuse from her husband and his sisters, lack of financial support, and isolation from her own family after her mother's death-Monika persevered for the sake of her children. She attempted suicide twice but was ignored by her husband. Her experience highlights the deep-rooted issues of domestic violence, lack of support for women in abusive marriages, and societal indifference, especially in regions like Haryana where patriarchal attitudes and toxic masculinity prevail. The video serves both as a warning and a call to action, urging people to respect women's dignity and stop domestic violence. It also appeals to society and families to support women who suffer in silence and to protect children from the harmful environment of domestic conflict.

The video presents a heartfelt and candid interview with Maryam, a woman who has fled her marital home along with her four children due to persistent domestic abuse, neglect, and financial deprivation by her husband and lack of support from both her in-laws and her own family. Maryam shares her painful experiences of emotional and physical abuse, financial control, and continuous threats from her husband, who is described as irresponsible, aggressive, and indifferent to family responsibilities. Despite entering into a love marriage with hope for a better life, her husband's behaviour worsened over time, leading her to seek refuge in the "Maika Mahila Ashram", an NGO-supported shelter for women facing domestic abuse or abandonment.

The video also highlights the strict protocols of the shelter, emphasizing that it is not a facility for casual stay or adoption services but a safe space for genuinely needy women who have nowhere else to go. The shelter requires proper documentation for women and their children and insists on informing the husband or family to dispel suspicions of infidelity or elopement. The shelter operates on donations and goodwill, providing free food, clothing, and accommodation, but expects women to come on their own, reflecting the shelter's resource limitations and to uphold women's agency.

Maryam's story sheds light on the widespread issue of domestic violence and the lack of support systems for women in rural India, especially those who have faced abuse after marriage. The video advocates for women's self-empowerment through seeking help and raising awareness about the resources available to them in times of crisis.

Married for four years with a one-and-a-half-year-old child, Padma narrates how her husband, once employed, became an alcoholic and abusive after marriage, leading to constant fights and physical violence. He would insult her by suggesting she sleep with others for money, yet never took responsibility to earn or support the family. Unable to endure the abuse and lack of support from her in-laws and her own family, Padma sought help in a women's shelter called "Maika," which offers safety and support without charging any fees. She emphasizes the importance of women being financially independent before entering into a love marriage and advises thorough background checks on partners and their families before marriage. The video serves as a cautionary message for women considering love marriages, urging them to prioritize self-reliance and financial stability to avoid abusive relationships. It also highlights the shelter's role in providing a safe space for women and children escaping domestic violence.

The woman's story unfolds against the backdrop of pervasive violence, emotional torment, and isolation inflicted by her husband, sons-in-law, and even her own children. Married off at the tender age of eight and sent to her in-laws' home at fourteen, she has been trapped in a cycle of physical and psychological abuse for over 30 years. Despite her efforts to maintain peace and care for her family, she faced relentless mistreatment, threats, and false accusations, leaving her with no choice but to flee.

The video also highlights the role of Maika, a women's shelter, which provides safety and support for women like her who face extreme domestic violence and social ostracization. The narrator clarifies that Maika is not a facility for marriage or child adoption but a sanctuary for women escaping abuse. The story exposes the grim reality that even family members, including daughters, sons-in-law, and relatives, can become perpetrators or enablers of abuse, driven by greed, misunderstandings, or societal pressures.

The woman's journey to the shelter was fraught with fear, uncertainty, and despair, including threats of murder and attempts to silence her through violence. The video also touches upon systemic issues such as inadequate police support and societal indifference toward women's suffering. It challenges the common misconception that women "do not adjust" to marital life, emphasizing that many women endure immense suffering for years and only seek help when their lives are in danger.

The video features a candid discussion about the challenges faced by women seeking help at "Maika Sweet Home," a shelter for women in distress, including pregnant women. The host explains that Maika Sweet Home is a safe haven for women troubled by issues related to their marital homes, whether they are married, unmarried, divorced, or widowed. The shelter provides free accommodation, food, clothing, and medical care, including pregnancy checkups and delivery services, without charging any fees.

A guest woman shares her personal story of hardship. She was married through a court marriage without her family's consent. Initially, her husband treated her well, but after six months, his behaviour changed drastically due to substance abuse and infidelity. He became abusive and neglectful, forcing her to endure mental and emotional trauma. Despite being pregnant, her in-laws and her own family refused to support her. After divorce, she was left homeless and vulnerable, eventually seeking shelter at Maika Sweet Home in February 2025, where she has been receiving care and support during her seventh month of pregnancy.

The video also addresses the problem of some women falsely claiming distress or only coming to the shelter for delivery to avoid medical expenses, which has led to stricter admission policies. The administrators urge genuine applicants to cooperate fully and provide honest information to ensure proper assistance. They emphasize that Maika Sweet Home operates on local donations and goodwill and is committed to helping truly needy women.

The video presents a deeply emotional and harrowing testimony of a woman who has suffered severe domestic abuse, betrayal, and social ostracization. She shares her painful experience of discovering that her husband had an extramarital affair with her sister-in-law, who became pregnant by him. Despite confronting family members and trying to expose the truth, she was met with disbelief, victim-blaming, and neglect. The husband engaged in abusive behaviour, including physical violence, verbal abuse, surveillance through cameras installed at home, and manipulation. He also consumed obscene content, which exacerbated his disrespectful and degrading treatment toward her.

The woman reveals how her attempts to seek help from her own family were futile, as they insisted she should adjust and tolerate the abuse, reflecting a common societal pressure on women to sacrifice their dignity for family honour. The emotional and physical torture, coupled with betrayal by both her husband and family, eventually forced her to leave her home and seek shelter in a mahila ashram. The video also highlights broader issues faced by women in similar situations, including long-term domestic violence, lack of support from natal families, societal judgment, and systemic failure to protect and empower women.

The host of the channel emphasizes the importance of empathy and refraining from judgment towards women who come to such shelters. The video calls for awareness and action against domestic violence, marital rape, and the toxic cultural norms that perpetuate women's suffering. It also criticizes the role of matchmakers (bicholiyas) who often ruin women's lives for commission, and urges society to respect women as equals with rights and dignity.

Neha narrates how her marriage, based on false promises and love, turned into a nightmare filled with violence, harassment, and mental torture. She describes physical abuse, repeated miscarriages caused by the stress and violence, verbal insults, and accusations from her husband and his family, including derogatory remarks labelling her as a sex worker. Despite working hard as a maid to support herself and her household, Neha faced neglect, threats, and was deprived of basic respect and dignity. She also highlights the societal stigma and lack of support women like her face, including from their natal families, who sever ties after such marriages.

The video also clarifies the purpose of the "Maika" shelter, a refuge for women facing such abuse, emphasizing that it is not a marriage bureau or adoption centre. It strictly supports women in distress, providing safety, counselling, and empowerment opportunities. Neha praises the shelter for providing her safety and emotional support, contrasting it with the cruelty she faced at home.

Throughout the video, she calls out societal hypocrisy, the failure of family members and neighbours to intervene in domestic violence, and the toxic culture of blame and control imposed on women. She urges women to avoid making life decisions based solely on romantic promises and advises men to respect and value their wives and family relationships. The video closes with a strong message about the importance of recognizing and addressing domestic abuse, respecting women's rights and dignity, and supporting shelters like Mayka that provide a lifeline to countless women.

The video transcript reveals the grim reality behind the facade of a prestigious household. The woman's testimony is a raw and unfiltered account of relentless abuse by her husband, a government officer who has cleared the competitive UPSC exam and holds a significant bureaucratic position. This juxtaposition starkly contrasts the public perception of government officials as respectable and law-abiding citizens with the private reality of violence and cruelty.

She recounts horrific instances where her husband physically assaulted her, leaving visible scars and injuries, including burns from hot water and bruises from severe beatings. The abuse escalated to the point where her daughter was locked in a bathroom and witnessed her mother's torment. The husband's threats of sexual violence against their daughter amplify the terror and psychological damage inflicted on the family.

The video presents a deeply emotional and distressing narrative of a woman who faced extreme social ostracism, neglect, and abuse during her pregnancy and after childbirth. She recounts how she was betrayed by the man she loved, left alone while pregnant, and rejected by her own village community. The society labeled her negatively, accusing her of immoral behavior and even of selling her child, which is far from the truth. Despite her mother's support, she was forced to endure homelessness, hunger, and immense hardship, including staying outside hospitals and lacking basic necessities during her pregnancy. The woman highlights the cruel double standards and pervasive patriarchy in her village, where men are not held accountable, but women are shunned and degraded. She shares her painful experiences of being propositioned for sex by men she once trusted, and how she was driven to the brink of despair.

The woman eventually found sheletr in the Maika Women's Shelter (Mahila Ashram), which provided her safety, food, shelter, and emotional support-things she was denied elsewhere. She urges viewers not to call the shelter for adoption or marriage facilitation, as it is meant for women in distress. The video also critiques societal hypocrisy, gender discrimination, and the harsh realities women face in rural India, including violence, lack of justice, and social exclusion.

When she confronted him, he responded with violence, including severe physical assault. Over the years, she faced not only her husband's brutality but also a lack of support from her family and in-laws, who insisted that as a woman, she must adjust and tolerate the mistreatment.

Despite being a victim of continuous abuse, she refused to give up. She resumed her education after a six-year gap, ultimately completing her graduation, B.Ed, and M.A. in Literature, all while working a demanding job and managing household responsibilities, including caring for her children and elderly in-laws. She faced constant emotional and physical challenges but maintained her dignity and commitment to her family.

Kavita's story highlights the deep-rooted social issues surrounding early forced marriages, domestic violence, lack of financial independence for women, and the failure of family members to support women in distress.

Kavita was married off at the age of 16-17 without proper consideration of her husband's character or financial stability. She endured years of mental and physical abuse from her husband, who neither earned nor supported the family, leaving her to work multiple jobs to sustain her children. Despite facing severe hardships, including the critical illness of her son and the lack of family support, Kavita persevered. Eventually, after 15 years of suffering and failed attempts to separate from her abusive husband, Kavita sought accommodation at the shelter home.

Despite her attempts to seek help from her mother, grandmother, uncles, and other relatives, no one supported her or took action to stop the abuse.

She was coerced into agreeing to a forced marriage but insisted on informing her fiance about her trauma beforehand, demonstrating her resilience and hope for a supportive relationship. She passionately condemns the patriarchal mindset that perpetuates abuse, dowry harassment, and gender-based violence, calling for a fundamental shift in how daughters are valued and protected.
