Enough is enough. You have silently suffered the misdeeds committed by your husband and in-laws. Give a Police complaint against your husband and in-laws for harassing and giving you torture U/s.498A in the jurisdictional Police Station. File another complaint under DV Act to seek protection, to stay in matrimonial home or alternative accommodation, maintenance and compensation.

1. First decide what do you want? If you want to end this marriage and punish your husband for his guilt then you can follow the options mentioned below-

i. Lodge a complaint with local police for starting case u/s 498A , 406 IPC.

ii. File case u/s 12 of PWDV Act whereby you can claim for your maintenance and provision for your residence.

2. if after this your husband becomes ready for compromise then do so in lieu of permanent alimony of your choice.

Hi

If you feel this marriage has no future and the idea of a divorce is in your mind, please go ahead and file an FIR under 498A in the nearest police station. If you have any articles and dowry amount with your husband and his family 406 IPc also can be added to this. Generally the police lodge FIR under 498A and 406 IPc. To get this done either in you approach the police station and meet the SHO of the station and tell him about your Problem , he will help you to lodge an FIR, or else take the help of an Advocate prepare a complaint and go to the police and proceed to file FIR.

You can also file a DV case in the magistrate court but an FIR will give help you more. Later on you can move to file divorce on cruelty & adultery grounds asking alimony and maintenance. Your complaint under 498A will support your divorce petition. Have the courage and confidence to fight for you and be assured that law supports woman .

1. Do you have any proof of the illicit relationship of your husband? If yes, you may file a case for divorce against him on the ground of his infidelity.

2. You may also file a criminal case for adultery against him wherein he will be sentenced to imprisonment if the allegation is proved.

3. Do file a complaint for domestic violence to seek re-entry in your matrimonial house, if you desire. You may also seek a protection order to put an end to further abuse by your husband. This apart, you can also seek compensation for harassment undergone.

4. Last but not the least, you may sue him for maintenance as it his legal obligation to provide you financial support.

1. When you were beaten brutally, did you go to a govt Doctor or Hospital to register your wound as an witness of being tortured by your husband and his family mambers? If yes, then it will be a very good evidence against them,

2. Decide finally whether you will teach them a good lesson or not for which your chance, if any, of going back will become nil,

3. If decided, file a police complaint u/s498A of IPC for subjecting you to cruelty for dowry with all the evidence under copy to DC/SP,

4. If police fails to act, file an application u/s156(3) praying for direction upon the polce to investigate and act based on your complaint,

5. Engage a local reliable lawyer having experience in the field.
