Answer #3

In order to end your suffering, you may seek help of the Police. If the harassment and torture continues then it would be better if you lodge an FIR against them. Feel free to contact me for seeking any legal advice/assistance as regards the same.

Answer #4

Your situation amounts to clear and continuing acts of domestic violence and matrimonial cruelty under Indian law. The conduct of your husband and his mother demanding money, taunting you for dowry, forcibly taking your salary, controlling your financial independence, physical assault (twisting your finger), verbal abuse, and repeated humiliation constitutes cruelty and economic abuse under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act well as an offence under the Dowry Prohibition Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. If the situation is unsafe, you should also consider moving to a safe location or a shelter home and documenting all injuries and abuses through medical records, messages, or photos these will serve as crucial evidence.
