U can file a case of domestic violence in Jalandhar district court as well as u can also file a case of maintenance against your father to give money to you and your mother... dont file divorce case ... because may be your father also want to get divorce in that case when both parties are agree for divorce u didn't get anything from your father property.. Right now best remedy is to file case against domestic violence or you may file a complaint in police station against your father...

Dear Anchal

Breaking a relation neither was nor is a good solution. There are alternatives for which you don't need a lawyer.

Yes.. your mother has legal remedies to exhaust but are not recommended as first step to cure bad circumstances. You are too young to understand what marriage is.

Ask your mother to contact me, we shall have a discussion about this to get things right.

U can file a petition for divorce under section 13 of the Hindu marriage act on the ground of cruelty along with an application for mantainance and litigation expenses. Or u can also seek legal aid if you are not able to bear advocate fees.
