The case filed by former Miss India winner, Miss Universe runner-up, and well-known Bollywood actress Celina Jaitly (now Celina Jaitly Haag) against her husband, Mr. Peter Haag, under the Domestic Violence Act—for domestic violence, cruelty, and manipulation—came up today before the Court of Shri S.C.

About the domestic violence case
In her petition, Celina claims that her husband “prohibited her from working on various pretexts and robbed her of her financial independence and dignity.” She has also alleged that Peter Haag pressured her to transfer ownership of her Mumbai residence to his name while she was suffering severe depression following the death of her newborn child and the loss of both her parents within a few months.
Celina further states that she was subjected to “severe emotional, physical, sexual, verbal, and financial abuse,” which ultimately forced her to flee their home in Austria and return to India without her children.
Celina Jaitly and Peter Haag were married on September 18, 2010, at her residence in Mumbai, according to Hindu rituals, in the presence of close friends and family. Their marriage was registered under Austrian civil law on September 22. The couple shares three children—Winston, Viraaj, and Arthur.
