Question posted in the Family Law category relating to Gauteng
Good day
I am a single 30 year old female and I live in a large house and share living arrangements with my parents, my sister and her husband and child. My brother-in-law and I do not see eye to eye and we once had a big fight and he grabbed me by my shoulders and held a fist to my face. Luckily my father intervened. I am not able to live on my own and am afraid of what could happen once my parents aren't there to stop him. Is there any legal way that I can protect myself? It might be my imagination running away with me, but I wouldn't put it past him to kill me so that my sister can inherit my part of what my parents would leave my sister and I to inherited in the future?
Thank you for your advice.
Kind regards
