Based on your situation, you have strong legal grounds to seek relief under various provisions of law:
Domestic Abuse & Mental Harassment: Under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, you can file a case against your husband and mother-in-law for mental torture and emotional abuse. The law provides for protection, residence rights, and financial compensation.
Divorce & Legal Separation: If you wish to proceed with a divorce, you can file under Section 13(1) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (for Hindus) or under relevant laws based on your religion, citing cruelty as a ground.
Child Maintenance: As per Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), 1973, a father is legally bound to provide maintenance for his child. You can file a petition in Family Court demanding regular child support. Courts usually decide the amount based on the husband's income and financial capacity.
Financial Neglect & Alimony: Since you were solely handling finances post-childbirth, you may also be entitled to alimony (permanent or interim maintenance) under Section 24 & 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 or under personal law applicable to your religion.
