Hi there, as per law you have right to file cases against him demanding your right as a wife which are
1. Maintenance (Money)
2. Protection (safe environment)
3. A place to live, Etc.
Regarding your father in law you can approach the court and get an order of him to be removed from the house.
However, the relief you'll get will largely depend on the facts and evidence of your case.
It's advisable to contact me and provide requisite details to assist you better.

You have legal remedies. You may file a complaint under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act for protection, residence, maintenance and restraining orders. FIR under IPC/BNS for cruelty, assault and threats is possible. You can seek interim maintenance and also file for divorce on grounds of cruelty.
