Hi
You have various options to exercise. You can
a)file a complaint u/s 498A in the nearest police station and / OR
b) File a Domestic violence complaint against your mother in law and your husband and in the said petition you can claim for
1) Residence protection orders
2) Interim maintenance and
3) Also claim compensation for violence so caused to you.
Mental harassment comes under the category of cruelty in both 498A and Domestic violence act and these are 2 separate offences and punishment is different under 498A and Domestic Violence act. Indian laws protects woman in multiple ways and you can use all of these laws to stop the violence unleashed on you.
