I’m sorry you’ve had to go through such emotional and physical trauma. You have the right to live in dignity.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. As per your statement, you may have grounds to file for divorce on the basis of cruelty under Hindu Marriage Act, and can also seek maintenance and protection under Domestic Violence Act. You also have rights for child custody and support. It is important to collect all evidence such as medical records, chats, or witness statements. I suggest you consult a family law advocate immediately to take the right legal steps. The law is with you - you deserve safety and justice.
