you can file complaint under indian penal code directly to the police station. these offences are cognizable and non bailable.
you can take assistance of social workers to prosecute the responsible persons, if they are too abusive and threatening you.
you can also file divorce and domestic violence case if you dont want want this to happen again.
you have to stay away from them and prosecute them.

This is a serious offense. You must inform to the concerned police station. Suppression of cognizable offence ie not informing the cognizable offence to the police is again n offence. So it is advisable that immediately you should go and inform these facts to the police.
