She can file Domestic Violence Case and 498A case against her husband. First she has to file police complaint with nearest police station. There is one cell under commissioner office called Mahila Suraksha Department under which such cases are handled and counseling is also done. on failure they register an offence against husband.

Well, your Maid can lodge a Case of Domestic Violence against her Husband. She can lodge a Criminal Case of Sec 498A of IPC against her Husband by lodging FIR in Police Station. She can seek Divorce. She can file for a Maintenance Petition while living in Judicial Seperation rather than seeking Divorce.
