If the behaviour of your husband is intolerable towards you can anytime send a complaint regarding your grievances in writing to the police station according to your jurisdiction. And if you wish to go legal then you can also file a petition under section 12 DV or section 125 CrPC and claim maintenance for yourself. And if there's no scope of living together then rather stretching the relationship you should file for contested divorce under the ground of cruelty. I would suggest you to go with mutual divorce because it's cost effective and ends up in a maximum of six months.

Dear ma'am, You can file a complaint under Section 498A IPC for cruelty and dowry harassment against your in-laws. Additionally, you may seek protection and residence rights under the Domestic Violence Act. If you wish to reunite with your husband, a legal notice can be sent for restitution of conjugal rights. Otherwise, you can proceed with divorce on grounds of cruelty. You may contact me to filing the necessary complaints and seek legal protection.

You can file case under Dowry act directly if you have proof of demand of dowry. Alternatively you can file a police complaint in this regard through an advocate so that the police won't be able to water-down the complaint to a weak one. You can take further actions also depending upon the exact facts of the case. If required you can discuss the same for better advice.
