Allegations of Abuse and Legal Action
Bollywood actress and former Miss India Celina Jaitly has filed a domestic violence complaint against her husband, Austrian businessman Peter Haag, in a Mumbai court. The petition, submitted under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, accuses Haag of severe emotional, physical, sexual, and verbal abuse throughout their 14-year marriage. Jaitly claims that the abuse forced her to flee their home in Austria on October 11, leaving behind their three children, Winston, Viraaj, and Arthur. The Andheri magistrate court has issued a notice to Haag, with the next hearing scheduled for December 12.
Details of the Complaint
In her detailed application, Jaitly seeks Rs 10 lakh per month in maintenance and Rs 50 crore in compensation for alleged career setbacks and emotional distress resulting from the abuse. She also requests the court to restrain Haag from interfering with her access to their shared apartment in Andheri and to return her personal belongings, including jewelry. The complaint outlines multiple instances of alleged cruelty, including demands for expensive gifts from her family, derogatory remarks, and financial coercion, such as taking control of her properties and finances.
Jaitly describes her husband as a "narcissistic, self-absorbed individual" with a short temper and tendencies toward alcoholism, which she claims have caused her significant stress. She alleges that Haag's behavior included racist insults, referring to her as his "maidservant" and suggesting she resembled domestic help.
Background of the Marriage
Celina Jaitly and Peter Haag were married in 2011, with their marriage registered in Austria. Following their wedding, Jaitly claims Haag prohibited her from pursuing her acting career, leading to a gradual loss of financial independence. The couple has three children, including twins born in 2012 and another set of twins in 2017, one of whom tragically passed away shortly after birth. Jaitly's career, which includes notable films such as "No Entry" and "Golmaal Returns," has been significantly impacted by her marital situation.
Criticism and Opposition
While Jaitly's allegations have garnered attention, the response from Haag has not been detailed in the sources. The legal proceedings may reveal his perspective on the accusations as the case progresses.
What's Next
The next hearing in the case is set for December 12, where further developments are expected. In addition to the domestic violence complaint, a separate civil suit is pending in the Bombay City Civil Court, seeking the cancellation of a gift deed that transferred ownership of their Mumbai residence to Haag.
