Hi i am 23 yr old girl. I recently married in feb 2015. My inlaws started torturing me mently. Recently on 23nov my father in law slapped me and my sisitr inlaw use filthy languge. I call the cops but they didnt do anything. After my parents reahed my home i was go for complaint wid them in women cell. But nithing happn. My husband do nothing he is noy trusting me he is a puppet of his family . he cant go aginst hos family at any cost. I left my matrimonial home that day. After reaching my parents home . i deided to patchup wid my husband about this. Due to this i said sorry to him many times and said all thing and allegations r false becoz he said 'sorry kaho gi tabhi aunga lene' i said sorry to him now he has a recording of this. And now he is denying to talk wid me. What legal action should i take? What should i do? My parents dont want me to g bak there. And my inlaws too. My lawyer said file a maintenance case against him. Can i file a appliation for residenceorder under dv act? What legal action mg husband take against me?

I always feel pride to advise woman facing matrimonial violence and dowry related tortures.
I do not like to advise any woman who says sorry for having reacted against torture.
I do not want to waste my knowledge on people like you.

It would have been better to reconcile the matter within family and not legally, it would spoil your matrimonial life.
Since you have opted for legal recourse, there are remote chance of patch-up, even if you try hard, it is too late.
Consult your lawyer for further advise and proceeding and do not waste time and efforts of the experts.

I am not able to fully agree.
On adopting the legal course the marriage may break down finally.
But there are people who abandon domestic violence and dowry demand on hearing a few "dialogues" from the mouths of cops.
Most likely you will do nothing and surrender to bear torture.
SO no point advising you.

File complaints of 498A, case for maintenance and residence orders.
Consult local lawyer.
