You are going on right path as described by you in your query there a provision and you can take benefit of that according to domestic violence you can straight away file petition in go to court respective what you have done or not done along with cwa, the only question arises in your path in such circumstances how to take guard during your case in court against your husband if you are willing to go that way or you are considering him as receiving end on the same side beside you on that violence activity.
Simple suggestion score for filing complaint of domestic violence in nearest police station with full fledge documents and also prosecutor your husband to cheat with you while marrying about salary etc good luck

Hi, I think you are badly misguided or you have not taken any legal advice at the time of filing of your complaint with CAW Cell. Please note, CAW cell will not call your mother-in-law because they will try to give your counselling sessions to resolve the dispute between you and your husband . You can force them for FIR against your husband and in-laws. For that you must meet us for proper guidance so that you can represent yourself before CAW Cell properly. Secondly, if you want that your in-laws should be penalised and come to court for hearing for the offence they have made, then you should file a case directly in the court for domestic violence. CAW cell will make FIR for dowry demand or possession of your jewellary etc. whereas case in the court for domestic violence will give you maintenance for your child and yourself alongwith protection orders etc.
