Dear client based on the query if you are facing domestic violence then you should go for a legal action u/s 498 IPC/85, 86 in BNS. As you are mentioning he is a drug addict then the matter can be discussed and can bring charges on him. Do not give khula as you have your legal rights. This matter needs a detailed discussion my team will get in touch with you for detailing.

As your legal representative, I want to assure you that you have full rights under Indian law and Islamic law to seek justice for the abuse and financial exploitation you’ve faced. Since you’ve been subjected to physical and mental cruelty, you have the right to file a complaint under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. You can also file a police FIR for physical assault, dowry harassment, and misuse of your financial resources.
You are not obligated to give Khula if you don’t wish to. Instead, you can seek a judicial divorce (Talaq-e-Tafweez or under the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939) and claim alimony, maintenance (under Section 125 CrPC), and compensation for damages including repayment of loans taken in your name and destruction of your property.
You also have the right to demand return of your mehr, streedhan, and file for interim relief to stop ongoing harassment. Let’s gather all your evidence—medical reports, messages, proof of loan payments—and proceed legally to ensure you get justice and financial recovery.

To get maintenance from your husband in India, a wife can file a petition under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) or the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. The court will then consider the husband's ability to pay and the wife's needs when determining the amount of maintenance. you can also file dowry harassment case against husband and in laws

Well, if you don't want to give Khula, then no one can force you, you can seek Maintenance from your Husband by filing a case in Court under Sec 144 of the BNSS Act, 2023 + you can seek Maintenance in DV Proceedings too by filing a case of DV Act, 2005.
