First you deliver your child since itm is not the time to take any stress. When you recover fully, Consult lawyer at the place of your marriage to file complaint under DV Act and to claim maintenance for yourself and the minor baby under section 125 Cr PC.

you should relax . give birth to your child . after knowing that your are mother maybe your mother in law will change . if they refuse to take you back file complaint under Dv act claim right to stay in your matrimonal home or alternative accomodation , maintenance for your self and child . compensation for mental torture you have undergone .

your husband cannot remarry during subsistence of earlier marriage . if you so desire you can file case for restiution of conjugal rights in family court in your city wherein you are presently residing

1. Did you approach police for registering a FIR? What reason did it offer for not registering the case on the basis of your complaint?

2. You may file a case under DV Act directly in the court seeking the right to have a safe entry and residence in your matrimonial home and protection from any violence. If your mother-in-law and husband refuse to accept you and your child after his birth then you may file a case for maintenance against your husband. It is the inescapable duty of your husband to financially support his wife and child.

3. Second marriage during the existence of first marriage is illegal. If he remarries without taking divorce from you he shall be amenable to prosecution for bigamy. To reinforce his duties as a husband you may file a case for resuming conjugal rights against your husband.

the DV act provides that (1) The court of Judicial Magistrate of the first class or the Metropolitan Magistrate, as the case may be, within the local limits of which— (a) the person aggrieved permanently or temporarily resides or carries on business or is employed; or (b) the respondent resides or carries on business or is employed; or (c) the cause of action has arisen, shall be the competent court to grant a protection order and other orders under this Act and to try offences under this Act.

you can file complaint wherein you are residing .in Tamil naidu . you can file complaint directly before local metropolitan magistrate court

Instead of approaching the police file the case for domestic violence directly in the court in your city. You may also sue him for maintenance in your city. He will have to appear in the court to contest the case.
