It is a case of domestic violence. You can file a complaint before the court under the protection of women from domestic violence act 2005. Under the said act the aggrieved women have several rights against any member of the family pertaining to domestic violence. Consult a lawyer of your city.

Yes you are entitled for right which a married woman has in law.
You can file a case under section 498, 125 for maintenance and domestic violence.
But be very sure and set up your mind ready before filing the case.
If you need any assistance from me just let me know I'll do the needful.
