Surely she can file a complaint under section 498-A of IPC and simultaneously she can claim the right of residence by making a petition under section 18,19,20 of the Domestic Violence Act before any designated judicial magistrate first class.

The purport of section 498A of the Indian Penal Code 1860 is to deal with the issue regarding cruelty caused by husband and his relatives towards wife and punishment to the wrongdoer accordingly if the cruelty is proved. The said Section defines what is cruelty and prima facie I am of the opinion that complaint can be filed u/s 498-A of I.P.C., 1860.

The facts are required to be more clear i.e. nature of cruelty caused so concrete opinion can be formed.
