File petition for divorce on grounds of mental cruelty 

2) seek interim maintenance and alimony from husband 

3) also file case for dowry harassment under section 498A of IPC read with section 2,3 of dowry prohibition act 

4) you  can also file Dv case against your husband and mother in law seek protection order, maintenance and alternative accommodation 

1. This marriage is surely not working but you are not ready to leave your husband either.

2. In that circumstances you have only option living in the same house . There is no magic wand nor force of law to bring peace in life.

3. The law is to stop atrocities in your life but this may ruin your marriage for good.

4. i would suggest you to take your husband for a holiday trip sooner than later and spending a good time together again can work wonders .

5. Involve reliable mutual friends in your dispute. Ignore your MIL altogether. This is touch but you can do this.

Good luck.

Look i got to understand your situation very much as i am also from Haryana and understand the mentality a bit.

If you take shelter of court, police or law, it will have adverse effect on the already disturbed relationship. Take some strong persons, like who can make them understand things and conduct a panchayat in which they be told that they HAVE to keep you happy.

Otherwise........

Here what instruments you have legally. 

Filing a complaint in the women cell will blow them away. They should be on the knees after the complaint. 

Try doing that.

Section 9 RCR can also be filed. But that would take something like one or may be two years to get an order in your favour.

Try panchayat. Else women cell.

Thanks

Respected mam....

First of all you have to make your mind clear that weather there are circumstances in which you can say with him or not ....mam if you take once legal action then there will be a gap createy between you and your husband ...so make it clear to yourself first and then take legal action ...yes you have all the options available for you ...I am from gurugram you can call me for further assistance...

Thank you

See for the ill-treatment by MIL and husband you can file a complaint before mahila police station , the police on complaint may conduct mediation you can also go ahead and file FIR . You can under DV act ask residence rights can seek maintenance from husband under DV act for your daughter under 125 crpc though filing cases will again increase issues in your life.

Dear querist, 

This is unfortunate. sinvce you are not seeking divorce, the best possible outcome is to bring hem under the umbrella of the law. You have option to file an application for the protection order under domestic violence act through which you will be under the protection by the court of law. IN case you want to stay away from the lagal proceedings as such then to bring them under a fearful state a legal notice can be send to him, giving them a warning and subsequently an application before the police to give you protection. 

You can contact me for legal notice and police complaint on your behalf. 

Regards,

1. The simple solution ri now is to go to the mahilla thana of ur locality and complain about your Mother in law & d husband. They will make arrangements to warn them not to harass you & may even appointment a counsellor to make ur husband that you are his legally wedded wife & it's his responsibility to take care of you. 

2. This step will secure ur right s & create pressure on them to take u back & maintain amicable relationship with u. 

3. If this doesn't work file a case of Domestic violence. This will safeguard all ur right s like residence order, protection order, your jewellery & other belongings maintenance, no use of abusive language & harassment etc. That ur advocate will help u with. 

4. For this case don't get worried. This is not meant for taking divorce. It is only a way to safeguard ur rights. 

5 Be very straight & also demand for d money to be paid back to u which u spent on him. 

As far as d extra marital affair is concerned u can file a case of cheating

Dear Concern,

Please take note of the suggestions as per your stand of not taking divorce in this situation - 

File a case of restitution of conjugal rights under section 09 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 seeking cohabitation with your husband along with your child.

You may also seek separate residence for yourself and your child away from your mother-in-law however this may put you in a tricky situation as Supreme Court has passed an order saying that compelling a son to leave their old age parents amounts to cruelty and divorce can be taken from such wife.   

So if you intend to live along with your husband with also a rider that you do not want your mother-in-law to be around then you may have to bring another case of Domestic Violence in against your mother-in-law seeking separation from her. You have to submit all relevant proof to prove your point in against her. 

This way, you will get separated from your mother-in-law and by the way of section 09 application you will regain the company of your husband. 

However, if you have to take my opinion in your case then I would suggest you to - 

A. Move ahead with the Divorce application on the ground of cruelty and extra-marital affair of your husband. Your relationship with your husband and mother-in-law has reached to such position that whatever you will do it is not going to be solved. The enmity and reluctance to accept you as family will always be there. 

B. Besides, I will also suggest you to file a case of domestic violence in against your mother-in-law as well as your husband seeking punishment for the wrong which they have done it to you. Submit all the proof along with the proof of financial help which you have provided to them and they have usurped it for their own benefit.

C. Seek recovery of the amount which you have invested in the business of your husband by filing either the recovery suit or by negotiating under the maintenance application along with alimony amount to get separated from your husband. 

D. You can also seek custody of your child and can claim maintenance amount in against his upbringing and education as well. A father is bound to take care of his child irrespective of the fact whether he has his custody or not.  

My best wishes to you. 

Since you are not interested in Divorce, therefore, try to settle the matter amicably with your husband involving elders/relatives/friends etc and start afresh, and if, failed, file Restitution of conjugal rights petition in the Court,

you are also advised to file/claim:

police complaint about 498a (for causing mental, emotional, physical and monetary abuse, etc)

Domestic Violence case (for causing mental, emotional, physical and monetary abuse, etc)

you have rights to claim residence (separate or within the shared household), protection (against the cruelties), compensation, maintenance,

from the facts stated by you, it seems that you are a working woman & at the same time mother of an angel too,

you can claim the maintenance for your daughter,  

police complaint (498a) may deteriorate your spousal relationship,

First go to house and stop all financial contribution. You cannot be prohibited to enter in the house. Agasint any resistance, call the police.

Divorce dose not grant so easily so better file enter in the house and than complain of DV and dowry demand. Police will issue warning. Most of things will resolve.

Even when divorce file by husband, you are entitle to live in matrimonial house and court will grant you protection order.

And ask him return all your contribution, be a boss not a maid.

Your written statements are showing that you are subjected to cruelty from your husband 

- Hence, you should know , that legally you are having following right  :-

 1.As per law, A wife has the right to claim decent living standards and basic comforts of life from her husband. Hence for claiming the maintenance, you can file a petition under section 125 CrPc.

- Your husband is under legal obligation to provide the same to you at any cost, even he is working or not. 

2.Law entitles wives a basic right to reside in the matrimonial/ home, whether the house owned by her husband or his parents, a rented property or officially provided to him. 

- Hence, for claiming your residential right, medical expenses etc, and also for teaching a lesson to the family members of your husband, who subjected you torture & harassment, you can file a petition under the provisions of Domestic Violence Act.

3. As per the Supreme Court, A wife has complete ownership rights over all her Streedhan, the gifts and money given to her before and after marriage. The denial of Streedhan to the wife makes the husband and in-laws liable for criminal charges. 

- And further, if the husband or his family members subjected a woman to cruelty for the dowry demand, then they can be booked under Section 498-A.

- You can lodge a written complaint against your husband and his family members , in the Women cell/Mahila Police, after mentioning all the details of torture & harassment. 

- The women cell firstly will try to reconcile the dispute , otherwise, they will lodge an FIR against all the person, who subjected you cruelty. .

- If your husband files a divorce case , then you should file the above mentioned cases against him , then he will himself pray you to forgive him , and the cases will not finish until you will decide for the same. 

Since according to your query, it appears that your mother in law is the root cause of the problem, and has been interfering too much in your marital life; all of which has taken immense mental toll on you and also caused you harassment, institute a complaint against her under the Domestic Violence Act. 

Dear Madam,

There are several enactments in favor of married women.  You must show heat of the litigation to your husband and mother in law otherwise you cannot sustain in such unbearable atmosphere.  You can file Domestic Violence case.

Further, she can also file an application under Section 12 of Domestic Violence Act, thereby seeking compensation for mental harassment. In case she requires residence, then she can file application under Section 19 of the said Act for seeking right to residence.  In addition to aforesaid,  in case she desires maintenance then she can file a case under Section 125 Cr.P.C., thereby seeking maintenance.
