Her husband has been torturing her physically and mentally in various ways since the marriage and for dowry, the girl is pressured in various ways. We try to resolve this issue through arbitration by looking at the two sides socially but it is not resolved. The boy later sends a divorce letter to the girl but the girl has not received any letter or divorce letter so far “How can we get help from the District Legal Aid Office? In response to the question representative of District Legal Aid Office, Advocate Zahid Hasan said that in the divorce letter one letter comes to the union council office and another letter comes to the girl's side, if the girl does not receive any such notice, she can sue the court on behalf of the girl for her mohorana and maintenance.
