A.Hello,
As per the information you have given, under the concept of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005. It is the implied right of a woman, after their marriage to reside in her matrimonial home. No one can throw a woman out of her matrimonial home.
You have full rights as a wife to stay in your matrimonial house. Unless and until the court grants divorce you cannot be evicted from matrimonial house. In case, your husband is not letting you in then you can file a case for domestic violence and harassment or mental agony to seek the right to reside in the house.
for better information you can have consultation with an advocate.
