You can immediately file a complaint in the CAW cell (crimes against women), and it will provide protection to you and your mother from your father, and then file a domestic violence case in the court,

Your mother can get an FIR lodged against your father for demanding dowry from her also your mother can file a case under domestic violence act in court and can seek protection orders, residence orders, compensation, monetary reliefs, etc. You may consult me in that regard.

you need to file a court complaint and a police complaint against your father for demand of dowry and commission of domestic violence. for better deterrence . you can also demand maintenance from your father.

If the behaviour of your husband is intolerable towards you can anytime send a complaint regarding your grievances in writing to the police station according to your jurisdiction. And if you wish to go legal then you can also file a petition under section 12 DV or section 125 CrPC and claim maintenance for yourself. And if there's no scope of living together then rather stretching the relationship you should file for contested divorce under the ground of cruelty. I would suggest you to go with mutual divorce because it's cost effective and ends up in a maximum of six months. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.
