yes you are eligible .The amount of alimony depends on various factors for eg if you are working,your standard of living etc.How ever the court will only grant divorce after a year of marriage but you can always start with your divorce petition at the court before that.You can also claim for maintenance when the court proceeding is going on.Also collect all evidence which shows the harassment it will be easier to contest divorce .

Certainly u r eligible for alimony . Ur case is fit for filing Domestic Violence Act. U may file 498 A case against ur husband and can even file Divorce Case for the reason mentioned by you. It is better if u file complaint in the nearest Police Station of matrimonial home for the safety of ur life.
