Unsuccessful marriage/ domestic violence/ dowry greed/ threat to kill
2 years ago
I got married in 2020 December and since then I have lived only thrice just for 10 days 15 days and 26 days at my in laws house with my husband. Initially for without any reason they were rude at me my mother-in-law used to abuse me used to say what kind of girl has come to our family she used to ask for money and used to say that your father should have given us more money just because everybody gives a lot of money in their daughter's marriage. I am a working woman and I work at Gurgaon and I live in Delhi. Before my marriage I asked my husband that will he shift to Delhi after the marriage he said yes but after the marriage he refused and said he can't leave his parents home and his parents home is at Moradabad UP which is 200 km away from Delhi. My husband is jobless. Runs a fake NGO that he showed to us before marriage. Now in these days when I lived there at first it was just only abuses and threats and taunts about dowry in he used to ask for my salary as well and later on it got increased to violence and at time he started beating me and in a recent last fight he beated me for round 10 to 12 of slaps and threatened me that he would kill me and he kept beating me until I begged for my life lying into his foot and at that moment my mother in law was standing there and there was a moment when I tried to escape the room but my mother-in-law stopped me from escaping so that I could be beaten up by my husband and he actually beat me up. After the beating they took my phone away and abused me for around one and half hour and he did not give me my phone back just because I would call police and I asked him to let me leave the house in the morning cause I had a ticket booked for 6:30 in the morning but he got that cancelled and did not let me leave the house in the morning and later on he deleted all the messages in the phone whatever the WhatsApp messages are there and all the messages all the communications with him he deleted all and later on gave me the phone when he left me into the train at around 11:30 a.m. on the station just before the train was about to move he gave me the phone that moment I had scars when I left that home I have pictures for it. so can you tell me e how can I get help I have spent around 7to8 lacks in this marriage I want all the money back I do not want to live with this person. I want a compensation and I still cry just by thinking of it. can u tell me all but I can get from him and how can I get divorce from them and i do not want to go back to Moradabad for any case filing just because he has threatened me he would kill me or my brother or my parents if we go there cos his brother in law is in UP police and his father is in Army. please help me
