A.first of all, stop worrying.
it is good that you have some evidence.
You will only have both children custody.

second you can lodge complaint of domestic violance on sasur and dewrani and ask for restraining/protection order.
you can ask for maintenance for yourself and children.


Hope this clarifies,
Advocate Ankur Goel

A.Hi,
You can approach the police and file a complaint against them under S.498-A of the Indian Penal Code, which deals with cruelty by husband's family. Protection can also be found in the Protection Against Domestic Violence Act.
If you have suffered from domestic violence, most Courts would inherently side with you if you institute divorce proceedings and want sole custody of your children.
