Hello mam, do not worry for such situation. Because there has been a law/ statute enacted for protecting women from such torture and harassment. You can file a complaint under the Domestic Violence Act by which your husband will be liable for punishment by way of paying you monthly maintenance allowances every month and also he will pay you the cost and expenses of the case that you will do. Secondly, file an fir under section 498A of IPC against your husband and he will be arrested immediately. You may go for divorce to the family court afterall.
