1. First make up your mind about status of marriage. You can try to stay separately with your husband to give your marriage another chance.

2. If you think it all but dead then engage an advocate and file a suit for divorce from where you are currently staying or is going to stay in near future.

3. You can bring criminal action against your husband and in laws as well by way of charges like section 498A, 406 IPC and 3 & 4 of D.P. Act.

4. You can claim maintenance and provision for your stay as well by way bring case under PWDV Act.

5. I must say that the litigation mentioned above likely to ruin your marriage for good. SO I would advise you to talk to your husband one last time to settle amicably.

All the best.

1. The money transaction evidence which you have is enough to prosecute your husband,

2. File a police complaint u/s498A, 406, 323 & 329 if you want to teach him a good lesson,

3. After this he will propose for mutual consent divorce,

4. If he does not, file a Divorce suit against him on the ground of cruelty.

Also file under DV Act for protection, right of residence,etc then he may come to your terms for MCD, if not then file for divorce.whatever evidence you have about bank are enough.

1. The documentary evidence of bank transaction is sufficient to prosecute your husband. Immediately go to the nearest police station and file a police complaint for dowry harassment and physical abuse. He may be arrested in consequence of your complaint.

2. You may also file a case for domestic violence to claim the right to protection, entry into your matrimonial house and maintenance. To this end you need to file a complaint in the court at the place where you reside.

3. Last but not least, you are at liberty to file for divorce at any time.
