You can file a maintenance case in Family Court u/s125 Cr.P.C through a lawyer as well as u can file a case against your in- laws under Dowry prohibition Act or you can complain to local police station if you are getting torture from your husband or from your in -laws. As per the provisions of law your husband is bound to pay maintenance allowance to you.

Madam,

Here you have two option. One in case if you interested to continue with the relationship, you can file a case under restitution of conjugal right and there you can sought for re union.



Other; in case if you are not interested, you can file a divorce case against him by stating all the torture given by him. Under this case you can seek for recovery of ornaments and also can seek return of ornaments. As you are stated you are living with your parents since from one year. For filing of divorce case one year separation is require.

Under divorce case you can claim maintenance.


Please decide and proceed legally.
