As a first step you try to solve your differences with the help of your parents and elders inorder to save your marriage. If it does not yield then take your decision whether you wish to continue your marital relationship despite few differences or would you go for a divorce. But as per your question it seems that 1 year has not yet elapsed from the date of your marriage. So you cannot file any divorce petition, in case if you wish to file, until the expiry of 1 year.

Ans: collects whatever possible materials for fixing him regarding dowry and harassment. you can filed a complaint either before the police or Mahila Sahayavani at Commissioners office for redressal of disputes. take a medical certificate for having hit you, which will help in bringing them to terms.
