Regarding domestic violence and dowry Regarding domestic violence and dowry

4 years ago

I am in an abusive marriage since last two years. I am married from last 4 years. I have a daughter of 1 year.

My in laws and husband wants me to leave and they don’t want to take any responsibility of me and my child. My husband is beating me from
Last two years and we have the audio recordings of that. When the torture became a pattern i started recording our daily conversations in phone. My mother in law also beaten me once and i recorded her abuse also. They have taken dowry of 11 lakhs cash in marriage and jewellery and clothes and i have the photos of it. After marriage also my father gave money to my husband in his account. My husband regularly abuses my father also.
No when i have given application in police two times for domestic violence and dowry then my in laws disowned my husband so that i cannot blame them but they are regulary in touch with him.
I am living separately with my husband on rent since marriage because of his job. Now he has moved to his native and intentionally forcing me to live in my father in laws house (my husband is disowned by them) because its in village and they have no facility there and i am an educated girls having mba degree and husband is soft engineer. They are planning to torture me by keeping me in their village house alone. Nobody lives there.. please tell
Me what should I do.. they want me to leave and i will not go like this . I want my dowry back and my daughter’s financial security.

A.if you want to remain in the matrimonial relationship, then,
try to settle the matter amicably with your husband involving elders/relatives/friends etc and start afresh, and if, failed, file Restitution of conjugal rights petition in the Court,

and,

if you want to terminate the matrimonial knot, then,
try to settle the matter amicably with your husband involving elders/relatives/friends etc and go for Mutual Consent Divorce which will be decided in 6-18 months, and you both will be free to live life with your wish,
don't forget to draft an MOU before approaching Mutual Divorce, which is the most essential and important part of a Divorce case,
some basic points to keep in mind and put in writing through an MOU before filing the petition for mutual consent divorce are custody of kids, distribution of assets (movable/immovable), quash/withdraw of pending litigation if any, Maintenance (present/future), Alimony, mode and time of making the payment, streedhan, future litigation, etc.
if failed, you are advised to file/claim
498a complaint (for causing mental, emotional, physical and monetary abuse, etc)
Domestic Violence case (for causing mental, emotional, physical and monetary abuse, etc)
you have rights to claim residence, protection, compensation, maintenance for you and the kid,
if you do not want to opt the divorce presently, you can ask for judicial separation also,

Call/mail for a detailed discussion/understanding
