The case was brought on behalf of Ramandeep Kaur, 25, who is currently supported by the group, as well as another woman in a similar position.
She was put in touch with its counselors after suffering at the hands of her husband who beat her and threw her out of the house.
She said: "I had no where to go and I just felt like I wanted to commit suicide. I couldn't speak English and I couldn't tell anyone about my problems but I was able to go to Southall Black Sisters.
"Before I met them I wanted to commit suicide, but they gave me a sense of living."

Feisty feminist opponents of fundamentalism and abuse they deserve support.
Their campaign has been succesful which is very good news indeed.
