My husband and in laws are abusive to me


27-Nov-2024 (In Divorce Law)
I've been married for almost a year, but we've only lived together for 35 days. He's been mentally torturing me since our engagement and physically abusing me after marriage. Now, he harasses me daily, saying a husband has the right to physically abuse his wife. His parents also support this mentality, claiming a wife should tolerate physical abuse. I've been living in my parental home for six months. My husband works in the Gulf. After six months, will I get justice if I file a petition now?
